The Rio Verde falls are located in the Guided Natural Reserve Verde Falls, near Borello, in the province of Chieti. The area extends over 287 hectares, 800 m above sea-level. The falls, the highest natural ones in Italy, are made up of a 200 m three-level  jump.

The vegetation is Mediterranean, with a dominance of holm oak leccio (Quercus ilex) and downy oak (Quercus pubescens).

Among the animals, we can find the skunk, wild cat, otter and the white-throated dipper, a typical bird of springs with waterfalls.
