TOUR DESCRIPTION

• Departure is expected at 8:15 am;
• First, we will have breakfast with local products;
• After, we will head to the starting point of our excursion and we will walk through roads used by jeeps;
• 10 minutes in our journey, we will be crossing two sides of the very recent 2002 flow. This flow has strongly defined the landscape of this area;
• Right after that, we will have the opportunity to walk alongside small volcanic structures, which are named bottoniere, and various ancient lava flows;
• We’ll be wandering one of the most evocative and fairytale-like beech forests until we reach the huge raspberries cave;
• We will have the chance and privilege to walk on top of the longest ever documented eruption on Etna (10 years);
• At the end of our walk, we will be returning to the beech forest and we will reach a small mountain refuge nestled in the woods;
• On the way back, we will walk alongside an ancient lateral cone devoid of vegetation and we will have the opportunity to enjoy the ghostly landscape that the 2002 eruption gave us.
