Overview

First stop: Monti Sartorius or the craters formed in 2002 on the north-east side of Etna), our naturalistic guide will introduce you to the fascinating world of volcanic phenomena.
Second stage: You will explore a cave of volcanic origin (for example the "Grotta dei Ladroni" or the "Grotta Cassone") equipped with the necessary equipment (helmets and torches). During the winter the visit to the cave is not carried out in the event of significant snowfall or ice at the entrance which would make entry dangerous.
Third stage: If weather conditions permit, you will be able to make a typical Sicilian snack based on 'hot table'. Otherwise, lunch will take place indoors at a lovely mountain farm.
Fourth stage: In the afternoon you will reach Taormina where, independently, you can visit its elegant course that separates the medieval gates of the city, Porta Catania and Messina.
