The Monte Tiscali trek exceeded our expectations. The views were spectacular and seeing the window of the cave in the mountain from both inside and out was fantastic.
This was our second trek with Sergio and as before he went above and beyond including timing the trek perfectly to miss the rain.
Sergio is very good with all levels of hikers, knowing who and when needed tips for the upcoming part of the trail. He was also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and history of Sardinia. Communication was excellent with all members of the group in fluent English, French and of course Italian.

Lots of locals in Sardinia recommended that I visit the east coast of the island, claiming it to be the most beautiful part. I, therefore, booked a trekking trip to Tiscali.
The trek on Monte Tiscali turned out to be an incredible experience. From diverse landscapes to forming bonds with fellow trekkers, every moment was a nice memory for my trip to Sardinian. The knowledgeable guide Sergio gave us a very smooth journey. He explained to us the history, geography, ecosystem, and culture of this region. Sergio is such a nice person. Before I confirmed my booking, he would ask me about my interest and what I would expect to see. He gave me the best trekking trip advice and route that would fit me.
Trekking up Mount Tiscali revealed breathtaking valleys and traces of ancient tradesmen's paths. A major highlight was ascending to the mountain's summit and exploring a natural cave where local Sardinians lived in ancient times. The combination of panoramic views and historical immersion was nothing short of spectacular.
This adventure is a must for nature enthusiasts and those seeking personal growth alike.

What to expect
The daily Trek to Tiscali is absolutely one of the most appreciated trekkings in Sardinia. In the Lanaitho valley is the Monte Tiscali which wards a priceless treasure, you can discover it with this nice excursion.Inside a beautiful doline you can find the ruins of an ancient village. The doline you see today was a cave in the past, its roof collapsed 900.000 years ago. Might the ancient Sardinians have settled in such a rough and isolated area to escape from the people coming from the sea?
The tiscali mountain is not only important because of the nuragic village but also because of the rare species of trees living there ; sometimes the agile moufflons frequent the doline by night and often the weasel comes looking for food. This trekking is very nice, you start in the lush woods then, surrounded by the karstic landscape you walk on the paths excavated by the charcoal burners in the XIX century. Afterwards the trekking to Tiscali passes through a narrow cleft and offers a great view on the Lanaitto valley and the Mount Corrasi range.
