Overview

Discover Etna and the Alcantara Gorges! The perfect mix of adventure and refreshing relax!

The excursion begins by SUV or minivan (up to 8 people), together with our experienced guides.
Our first stop is an off-road trip to the 2002 eruption lava fron.
Continuing along the Via Mareneve, in the middle of the Ragabo pine forest, we will arrive at the starting point of our trekking to the Monti Sartorius craters. We will continue on foot, starting at 1650 metres and arriving at an altitude of 1750 metres, an easy walk suitable for everyone.
We will then explore a lava flow cave, the Grotta dei Ladroni, equipped with helmets and torches.

We will stop at a local chalet or restaurant for lunch (included in the price: a first course, drink and coffee).

After lunch, we will reach the characteristic Alcantara Gorges, also known as the Larderia Gorges. A refreshing and relaxing visit to a wonderful place. You can cool off in the Alcantara river in the middle of the canyon of the Gorges!
