BAVONA VALLEY
Force of Nature
After last June’s devastating floods, valley Bavona is once again recovering, just as it has for centuries from landslides, avalanches, and storms. In this harsh yet breathtaking landscape, people have learned to adapt, developing ingenious solutions to survive and rebuild.
Walk through villages where tradition meets determination, witness nature’s power, and discover how the people of our valleys stand strong—time and time again.
