An adventure that will allow us to explore geographical areas that encompass an extreme variability of landscapes, ideal for attentive and motivated travellers, lovers of nature, traditions and food and wine, who will be able to enjoy experiential activities in an ecosystem that may have never been seen before, in contact with the communities of the local villages, appreciating the local specialities and the proverbial island hospitality.<\/p>\n

We will explore the paths that wind through the rocky gorges of the Alcantara River Park, and discover the landscape populated by a varied and characteristic biodiversity; we will hike in the Etna Park, crossing the birch forests, experiencing the thrill of walking on the lava paths, in some places shrouded in smoke; We will discover the medieval village of Randazzo with its typical lava stone architecture and reach Santo Stefano di Camastra, for a visit to the artisan workshops where ceramics are worked; we will immerse ourselves in the historical and naturalistic heritage of the Madonie Park and (depending on the time of departure) take part in a guided visit to the town of Cefal\u00f9, famous for its Byzantine cathedral and its characteristic historical centre. We will thus savour an authentic Sicily, which will be able to project us into dimensions unique in the world, to be discovered stage by stage.<\/span><\/p>\n This proposal includes (on request) the opportunity to extend one's stay with a post-tour and a pre-tour for a more complete and tailor-made travel experience.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":829,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[22,20],"product_tag":[26,149],"class_list":["post-828","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-sicilia","product_cat-tour-pacchetti","product_tag-consigliati","product_tag-sport-e-natura"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nBefore starting the tour you can stay at\u00a0Catania<\/b> in 4* hotels, and customise the trip with a city tour and participate in excursions to Taormina and the Greek Theatre or to Syracuse and the Neapolis Archaeological Park. Upon request, it is also possible to participate in experiential activities (tailoring workshop for the preparation of Sicilian 'coffees' or cooking experience for the preparation of arancini).<\/p>\n
\nTo continue to get to know Sicily, we suggest continuing the experience with a customised programme that includes someggiato trekking (hiking along paths in the Madonie Park accompanied by donkeys that, in addition to carrying the weight of the backpack, support the hiker in moments of fatigue) or, for moderately experienced riders, also on horseback, for 1 or 2 days along the ancient mountain trails. The post-tour stay is in a 4* farmhouse in Lascari<\/b>from which an interesting trail runs through another side of the Madonie Park. All guiding, assistance and logistical services are guaranteed.<\/p>\n
