Natural Wonders

Discover Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, through an experience that combines volcanic landscapes, easy hiking and the extraordinary wines produced on its slopes.

We will begin with an easy walk around the Silvestri Craters, exploring Etna’s dramatic lunar landscape while learning about the volcano’s history, eruptions and the forces that have shaped this unique environment.

The standard route is easy and suitable for most visitors. For those who wish to walk a little more, it is possible to extend the experience with a longer route towards the upper crater area, depending on weather, volcanic conditions and accessibility.

For those who wish to go higher, it is also possible to add the Etna 3000 experience, which must be booked in advance. The excursion includes a cable car ride up to 2,500 metres, followed by a 4×4 vehicle ride to around 2,800 metres and a short guided trek with an Alpine or volcanological guide up to approximately 3,000 metres, depending on weather conditions and the limits established by the authorities.

We will then continue to a local winery, where we will discover the unique characteristics of viticulture on volcanic soil. Surrounded by spectacular views of vineyards trained in the traditional alberello system, we will learn how altitude, lava soils and climate influence the wines of Etna.

The visit concludes with a guided tasting of some of the volcano’s most representative wines, including Etna Spumante, Etna Bianco and Etna Rosso, accompanied by a light lunch or local food pairing.

Discover Cava d’Ispica, one of the most fascinating archaeological and natural sites in southeastern Sicily, through a scenic trek combining history, landscape and local flavours.

We will walk along a natural trail surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and limestone cliffs, discovering ancient rock-cut dwellings, prehistoric tombs and archaeological remains that tell the story of a place inhabited for thousands of years.

The route will lead us through some of the most evocative sections of the canyon, where nature and human history are deeply intertwined.

At the end of the walk, we will enjoy a relaxed aperitif with local products and wine, surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside.

A perfect experience for those who want to combine trekking, archaeology and the authentic flavours of the Hyblaean area.

Explore Pantalica, one of Sicily’s most extraordinary archaeological and natural landscapes and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site shared with Syracuse.

Starting from the Ferla side, we will hike through a dramatic landscape of limestone canyons, Mediterranean vegetation and ancient rock-cut settlements. Along the way, we will discover prehistoric necropolises, Byzantine villages, rock-cut oratories and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the valleys carved by the Anapo and Calcinara rivers. The Ferla access is particularly rich in archaeological remains, including the area of the Anaktoron, traditionally known as the “Prince’s Palace.”

After the hike, we will continue to Ferla for lunch and some well-deserved time to relax.

On request, the experience can be extended with a visit to Palazzolo Acreide, one of the Baroque towns of the Val di Noto.

Begin the day in the wild landscape of Vendicari Nature Reserve, where coastal dunes, lagoons and salt marshes create one of Sicily’s most important habitats for migratory birds. Along the trail, we will discover the historic tuna fishery and the centuries-old relationship between this coastline and the sea.

We will then continue to Marzamemi for a stroll through the old fishing village and some free time for lunch, before heading to Noto in the afternoon to discover its UNESCO-listed Baroque centre.
