Overview

The excursion to Etna at sunset is one of the most suggestive summer tours. On board our vehicles - comfortable Minivan or 4×4 - some of the most interesting places of Etna until sunset. You will admire the Valle del Bove, an immense amphitheater that tells the geological history of the volcano. You will walk on the edge of some side craters where you can enjoy the panorama from 2000 meters and the extinct lava flows of various eras.
