What to expect

Discover two of Sicily's most famous nature destinations by joining this experience of good food, nature, and the exploration of unique landscapes.

Mount Etna and the Alcantara Gorges are waiting for you! Your tour starts in Taormina, from where you´ll head to renowned Mareneve Road, 1500 meters above sea level. Discover the legends of the villages located at the foot of Mount Etna and the volcano itself as you listen to your guide. The first stop will be the famous lateral lava flow that destroyed the ski station at Piano Provenzana and burnt down part of Ragabo Pine Forest in 2002. After winding through pine, birch, and crater forests, you´ll reach the Grotta dei Ladroni. Explore this tunnel carved out of lava and learn about it from your guide. At the end of the excursion, it will be possible to have a lunch (not included) break in a Chalet, at an altitude of 1500m, with a choice of menu and payment to be made on site. Once lunch is over, continue to another splendid natural destination, made up of unique landscapes resembling a canyon: the Alcantara Gorges.

Along the way, you´ll get to visit some ancient Sicilian villages, such as Castiglione di Sicilia, renowned for its wine cultivation and Etna D.O.C.
