What makes Etna and Alcantara Gorges Small Group Tour a unique experience ?
Start at 9.00am Meeting with the volcano: the lava front of 2002 The tour begins in Linguaglossa, a picturesque town on the slopes of Etna. We will travel to the lava front of October 27, 2002, an eruption that devastated part of the volcano. An experience to learn about the destructive power of the highest active volcano in Europe.
Trekking between craters and woods: the Sartorius Mountains Crossing the Ragabo Forest along the Mareneve road, we will reach the Monti Sartorius craters.
