Description
An amazing walk with friends on Mount Etna, surrounded by its wonderful colors, scents, and stunning landscapes.
You’ll hear stories and legends from locals who were born and raised there, learn about the local flora and fauna, and see beautiful, unique places that immerse you fully in Sicilian culture.
All this in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, without lines at ticket booths or the stress of driving, finding the right way, or parking. We’ll take care of everything, picking you up directly from your accommodation and dropping you off afterward.
We’ll take you on less-traveled paths, away from crowds and “tourist traps,” letting you experience the most authentic side of Etna.
We’ll have lunch together while admiring beautiful landscapes, and you’ll have the chance to make new friends with other participants.
Finally, we’ll let you taste some local delicacies too!
