We'll meet in central Catania and there, we'll climb aboard an off-roading vehicle and start on our way to Mount Etna, leaving the city behind. Ready to explore one of the most famous volcanoes in the world?

As we ascend the slopes of Mount Etna, your guide will explain the historical and biological importance of this natural park, a World Heritage Site. This volcano is mentioned in classical texts over 2700 years old.
