Santa Barbara a locality of striking beauty is just a few Km away. During the winter when a sufficient amount of rain falls, you can stand at the footsteps of the roaring cascades that can been seen also from the Sant'Antonio locality.
Ulassai is also famous for its showcaves known as Le Grotte di Su Marmuri.
The caves are open to the public with guided tours, just remember to put a pair of socks on and take a cardy with you as there is a constant 10° C inside that can make your toes curly up.

Just the idea of hiking makes me tried and if you feel the same you can still roam these beautiful areas in quad bikes.
