The Mannute cliff is located in Santa Maria di Leuca, a marina that is part of the municipality of Castrignano del Capo in the province of Lecce. This characteristic stretch of coastline turns out to be ideal for lovers of trekking and climbing; in fact, it is a rock face about 50 meters high located in the southern part of Puglia and overlooking the crystal clear sea of Salento. The cliff is composed mainly of white limestone and is divided into several sections, each with different climbing routes, already marked with different pitons from past experiences and with different degrees of difficulty. Most of the routes are for experienced climbers, but there are also some routes suitable for beginners. Close to the cliff face is the Mannute Cave, a cavity located about 20 meters above sea level and characterized inside by the presence of numerous stalactites and stalagmites. The view from the top of the cliff is simply breathtaking, with the sea opening blue to infinity and the rocky coastline stretching to the horizon. The area is perfect for climbing enthusiasts and those looking for a unique challenge and experience in Salento.
