Read moreYou will reach one of the most ancient sides of the volcano following some old off-road trails.
Then, after a short trek along the forest, you will get to Valle del Bove where you will enjoy some of the most breathtaking scenery of the entire Sicily.
You can choose between a half or full-day tour.
If you opt for the half-day excursion, you will visit the Valle del Bove and make a fascinating climb down the volcano and finally taste some local products in the woods. You will visit also a Lava Cave and you will discover old lava flows and ancient forests.
If you prefer the full day excursion, in addition to the route described above, you will visit a winery, where you will be offered a light lunch with typical products from the Etna Mount. You will then make a stop in Zafferana, where you will visit the place where the volcano erupted back in 1992 and watch the resulting lava rocks after solidification and cooling. You will then taste the famous honey from Zafferana and in some other tasty delicacies. During summer, the visit to Zafferana will be replaced by a visit to the Alcantara gorges where you can admire the old lava that thousand of years ago created these famous gorges and ravines.
The tour takes place on a Jeep in non-exclusive use. The Jeep can accommodate up to 8 people.
