From Calvi: Agriate Guided Jeep Tour to Lotu and Saleccia

2. From Calvi: Agriate Guided Jeep Tour to Lotu and Saleccia

Time stops and immersion in "the attic of Corsica"! As rich in history as in vegetation, we set off to discover an extraordinary site combining maquis and beaches worthy of the Caribbean... The Agriates desert is a micro-region that is desert only in name! Planted with Mediterranean vegetation that is traditionally found in the maquis, such as holm oaks, olive trees or even heather and myrtles. The 13km of 4x4 track will offer us the possibility of admiring extraordinary points of view, of discovering the history of the site with the many mullers (pagliaghji) - small stone constructions with roofs covered with earth - which mark out the territory and which are the witnesses of intense past agro-pastoral activities, but also to meet the wild fauna populating the desert (cows, warblers, grass snakes, peregrine falcons etc…) At the arrival of the track, stop on the beaches of Lotu and Saleccia (protected natural areas), land of the Conservatoire de l'espace littoral, real paradises on earth... or rather maritime! Fine white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, sea bream, cuttlefish and other “inhabitants”… get your masks and snorkels on!! For those who wish, it is possible to go for a "short" hike on part of the customs path between the beaches of Lotu and Saleccia. (1h15 on average).

Ile Rousse : désert des agriates : Saleccia - Lotu

7. Ile Rousse : désert des agriates : Saleccia - Lotu

Les plus belles plages de Corse sont à moins d’une demie heure de bateau d’Ile Rousse ! Au bord du Désert des Agriates se trouve un secret, deux des plus belles plages de Corse, entouré de bleus infinis, d’eaux translucides, de sable blanc et de rivages incroyablement parfaits. Les plages du Lotu et de Saleccia, bordées par le désert, sont un paradis qu’il faut rejoindre par bateau. Leur éloignement et leur relative inaccessibilité signifient qu’elles restent heureusement intactes, ce qui leur confère un charme rare et difficile à trouver ailleurs en Méditerranée. Vous ne devez pas manquer ces joyaux intacts de notre île. La plage Saleccia faite de sable blanc s’étend sur plus de 1 km. C’est un mélange de couleurs et de formes fascinantes : dunes de sable, roches du désert, eau turquoise, montagnes du Cap Corse. Vous y verrez de temps en temps des vaches qui se promènent ou font la sieste. La plage du Lotu est l’une des plages les plus protégées du désert, l’eau qui coule doucement sur le sable ensoleillé est l’une des plus pures de Corse. Des collines basses recouvertes de maquis très parfumés entourent la plage. Vous pourrez y avoir une vue fantastique sur les montagnes du Cap Corse tout en vous relaxant sur le sable. Plus sauvage que la plage de Saleccia, vous y verrez surement des vaches sauvages qui errent dans la région.

We enjoyed this excursion between discovering the Balagne valley, the very beautiful landscapes and swimming. Our guide Virginie was very friendly and dynamic. Along the way she evoked the history of Corsica as well as its fauna and flora. Very rewarding experience.

one day 4x4 trip, starting from the Calvi area, going up to 1200 meters. beautiful view! the guide very kind and capable. short stop at a local restaurant, very good, then ride to the beautiful beach of Saleccia, in the desert des Agriates. recommended!

Nice trip but a bit much transport time. Some of the seats in the car were not very comfortable, and the driver should therefore make sure that we change seats along the way, so that everyone can have the same experience.
