The Griffon Vultures of Capo Marargiu by Sailboat from Bosa
An afternoon on a sailboat to the cliffs of Capo Marargiu, home to one of the last griffon vulture colonies in Sardinia, with a swim stop.
The coast north of Bosa is home to one of the most important griffon vulture colonies in Sardinia: these huge vultures, with a wingspan that can exceed two and a half meters, nest on the cliffs of Capo Marargiu. With Laltroturismo you go to see them from the sea, by sailboat, in the afternoon.
