Recommended equipment : To shoot from 4 huts located along the river are useful optics from 300mm up. The stand, awkward to fit in, it may be useful for some stalking next to the huts and macros. Very useful binoculars. I would also slip resistant and waterproof footwear and avoid shirts and shorts because of the mosquitoes and parasites.

Best months : The oasis is an IBA (important bird area, RAMSAR) as it is a stopping point for many species of migratory birds, and offers great photo opportunities throughout the year. I advise you to learn the movements of the species of greatest interest to inquire at the visitor center on its actual presence in the oasis. Personally I prefer May to June (courtship and birth) and October (arrival of wintering species.

How to get there : By car: From the A3 Salerno-Reggio Calabria, exit at Countryside, turn left and continue on the straight that leads to the SS 19 of Calabria. Turn left again, and after traveling 4 km take the left, the junction for the local road Falzia and after 1 km you reach the Visitor Center. From the visitor center you take a dirt road that leads down to the nature trail. This runs along the river for about 600 m on a wooden walkway.
