Are you hoping to visit Corsica? I’ve got a story for you!

I (Kat) did a 9-day road trip around Corsica full of fun, relaxation, adventure, and more! Aside from the stunning beaches in Corsica, there are also ample hiking trails. It is known for the GR20, a multi-day trek known to be one of the most challenging in Europe.

While I definitely didn’t attempt that, I did hike a portion of it when my friend and I hiked the Aiguilles de Bavella Loop Trail.

But things suddenly took a turn when AllTrails information was inaccurate and reviews that claimed it was only a 4.5-hour hike also weren't always fully correct.

What was supposed to be a 6.9-mile (11.1 km) hike in 4.5 hours, it ended up being an 8.4-mile (13.5 km) hike that took around 7-7.5 hours. It’s not the longest day hike I’ve ever done… but certainly one where we weren’t prepared with ample water.

Lessons were most certainly learned including to always pack more water than you think you’ll need AND ALWAYS carry a LifeStraw Water Bottle.

Here is my tale that is partially funny (now that we’re totally fine) and partially a little scary. Plus, I've got tips for your success in hiking this trail. Bon courage while hiking the Aiguilles de Bavella Loop in Corsica!

Corrections:

-There were many people that did complete it on AllTrails, but for some it looks like many spots disconnected, making it appear shorter and/or possibly have less time.

-Depending on your physical fitness and breaks, you could take between 5-8 hours.

-Getting up the mountain is around 2-2.5 miles or so (rather than 3 miles), then it goes down for a bit.

-The repelling on a chain wasn’t fully vertical, it was just a steep decline.

We are no strangers to hot weather travel. We’ve braved the Olympics last year in Paris and Lyon, honeymooned in Southeast Asia, explored Saint Lucia, spent many a summers gallivanting Europe, and more.

And now, we’re about to head to Japan during the hottest time of year. This is how we’re preparing for our hot and humid trip and what we’ve done and lessons learned from past warm weather vacations.
