Mount Etna
You will have the opportunity to discover in one day the beauties of our volcano and the splendid Taormina, after the pick-up in the city of CATANIA here we go:
First Stage: Walking through centuries-old woods, eccentric craters and unique lava formations (usually the Sartorius Mountains or the craters formed in 2002 on the north-east side of Etna), our naturalistic guide will introduce you to the fascinating world of volcanic phenomena.
Second stop: You will explore a volcanic cave (for example the "Grotta dei Ladroni" or the "Cassone Cave") provided with the necessary equipment (helmets and torches). During the winter, the visit to the cave is not carried out in the event of significant snow or ice at the entrance which would make the entrance dangerous.
Third stage: If the weather conditions permit, you will have the opportunity to have a typical Sicilian 'hot table' snack. Otherwise, lunch will take place indoors at a lovely mountain farmhouse.
