    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cargese has many activities with hikes and 5 beaches and strong history.
    In your free time, you could travel about 20 min to see the Chalanques de Piana which are to me THE thing to see here, right in the natural reserve. You can visit by boat or there are many hiking walks around.
    Lovely forests to visit like the Aitone forest. Lot of sea adventures like snorkelling, diving, boating, paddling or just chilling on the beautiful beaches.
