Introduction[edit]
Rio Vendelata is a right tributary of the river Torrente Meduna at the end of the valley Canale di Meduna near Tramonti di Sotto and it is located in the valley Val Tramontina. The creek has created a brief but interesting canyon, which in the end offers you some high jumps in deep green pools. Rio Vendelata is a fun canyon and, if you are around here and you have 2 hours, we recommend it to you.
