Course
editThe Buccatoggio is 9.91 kilometres (6.16 mi) long. It crosses the communes of San-Giovanni-di-Moriani, Santa-Maria-Poggio, San-Nicolao and Santa-Reparata-di-Moriani.[1] It rises in the commune of Santa-Reparata-di-Moriani between the 1,285 metres (4,216 ft) Monte Olmelli and the 1,049 metres (3,442 ft) Croce Di Zuccaro. It flows southeast to the village of Santa-Reparata-di-Moriani, then in a generally east direction to the sea, which it enters to the south of Padulella-Moriani-Plage.[2]
The river contains several large basins that visitors can swim in.[3] The dramatic Ucelluline Waterfall (Cascade de l'Ucelluline) is located beside the "Corniche Road" which runs along the eastern coastal plain.[4]
