The park is located within the forest complex of Bosco di Santa Maria, historically known for its old-growth beech trees.
The aerial circuits utilize a 'continuous lifeline' safety system, meaning participants remain clipped into a steel cable for the entire duration of a course.
The park is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains, a karst plateau region characterized by deep canyons known as 'cave'.
The location is part of the territory of Buccheri, which is one of the highest villages in the province of Syracuse.
Parcallario is an adventure park situated within the Santa Maria woods in the Iblei Mountains of Sicily. The park features a series of aerial courses suspended between beech and chestnut trees, ranging in difficulty from children's circuits to high-altitude paths for adults. Participants navigate various challenges, including rope bridges, zip lines, and swinging logs while secured by safety harnesses. The facility utilizes a continuous lifeline system to ensure climber safety throughout the courses. It is located at an altitude of approximately 900 meters, providing a cooler climate than the surrounding coastal regions. The park is integrated into the local ecosystem of the Bosco di Santa Maria, emphasizing nature-based recreation. It provides equipment rental, including helmets and harnesses, included with entry.
