Santuario Degli Uccelli Hiking Tour

Join us on a hiking tour around the Santuario degli Uccelli (Bird Sanctuary) to experience views of the sea and Cape Miseno, and discover the variety of bird species in Bacoli. Hiking boots at the ready?

Tour Description

We'll meet on the Bacoli coast at the designated time, specifically at the Shopping Area on Via Miseno, to begin our tour along the Santuario degli Uccelli hiking path.

We'll walk to the slopes of the old Miseno crater, formed between 10,000 and 25,000 years ago. The local geology has encouraged numerous bird species to settle here, making this area a true sanctuary. Keep an eye out for seagulls flying back to their nests during the hike.

Next, we'll continue along this ancient path, surrounded by Mediterranean oak trees and shrubs. You'll get impressive views of Monte di Procida, where the remains of the ancient Archiflegrean Volcano lie.

Upon reaching the highest point, we will find a scenic view of the Pozzuoli Gulf and the islands of Ischia, Capri, and Procida. You might even spot the Miseno Lighthouse in the distance. Remember to take photos!

We will then begin our descent down a path that runs through the crater’s interior, leading us near the Cape Miseno Lighthouse. After a 2-hour hike, our tour will conclude here.
