Overview

An excursion dedicated to those who love nature and sport, but do not disdain good food. We will guide you to the most fascinating places of our volcano including the immense caldera of the Valle del Bove, the side craters and the most recent lava flows. We will let you experience the thrill of descending into the underworld of the volcano equipped with a helmet and speleologist lights to understand how volcanic caves are formed. The "efforts" will be repaid with a lunch stop, at a typical Etna refuge / millstone, where you will taste the typical products based on the availability of the period: cheeses, cured meats, products of the earth, rustic products and other specialties, all accompanied by bread homemade and good red Etna wine of local production.
LANGUAGE: During the high season there may be overbooking of reservations for one language. In this case, a tour leader speaking the selected language will be guaranteed in the scheduled stages of the tour.
