Description
Etna Trekking Valle del Bove provides the exploration of one of the most fascinating nature trails of the Etna Park that we will reach on board our vehicles and that we will hike. A place of great naturalistic and geological interest, which crosses enchanting lunar landscapes and historical lava flows, volcanic morphologies, ancient extinct craters, lush forests and plant species of the park. We will reach an altitude of about 2000 meters in front of the majestic Valle del Bove and with a view of the summit craters we will stop for a moment of total relaxation surrounded by the silence of nature or by the roars of an eruption that we can see live! You will discover the most hidden corners and the unique landscapes of the Etna Park. You will also experience the thrill of descending into the depths of the volcano and exploring a cave of lava flow equipped with helmets and light caving, to know the geological and morphological characteristics. Our itineraries are the result of experience and passion for Etna. Our nature guides and geologists will show you the naturalistic and volcanological aspects of the highest active volcano in Europe, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013.
