The Morigerati Oasis is a paradise corner located just a few kilometers from the coast of the Gulf of Policastro in Cilento, southern Italy. It is a protected area managed by the WWF Italy in agreement with the municipality of Morigerati. The oasis is home to waterfalls, crystal-clear springs, small lakes, and a 17th-century mill, making it one of the most beautiful places in the province of Salerno. One of the highlights of the Morigerati Oasis is the Bussento Cave, a karst cave where the Bussento River emerges from the underground and resumes its path above ground. The cave is a popular destination for hiking and spelunking. Another interesting attraction in the oasis is the village of Morigerati, which has been transformed into a hotel. Visitors can book a package that includes breakfast and dinner at local restaurants and pizzerias, as well as transportation to and from Naples Airport and the most suggestive places in the Cilento area. The Morigerati Oasis is a perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is also a great place to explore the natural beauty of Cilento.
