Mount Etna

Trek past volcanic craters, ancient lava flows that give the volcano a lunar landscape, the breathtaking beauty of Etna's landscapes under the soft glow of the morning sun. I will lead you through ancient forests, past extinct craters, and across the moon-like lava fields that testify to Etna's dynamic nature. We will visit a volcanic cave, a lava tube and I will share the rich geological history of Mount Etna with the breathtaking view of the Valle del Bove. We'll cap off the morning's adventure with a visit to a traditional Sicilian farm, where you can indulge in a tasting of local products and wines. It's the perfect way to relax and reflect on the morning's experiences while enjoying the flavors of Sicily.
