Monti Sartorius 4x4 Tour + Thieve's Cave

Discover the marvels of the north of Etna National Park on this 4x4 tour of Monti Sartorius. Plus, we'll visit Thieve's Cave.

Description

At the scheduled time, we will meet at Piazza dei Martiri. We will board a 4x4 and depart from Catania towards Etna National Park.

Using the less traveled paths in the park, we will share details about the history, culture, and traditions related to one of Italy's most famous volcanoes. In addition, you will learn about the area's flora and fauna, and the changing landscape caused by Etna's eruptions.

After the initial part of the tour, we will stop in Milo, the highest town in the park, where you can enjoy views of the Ionic Sea, Taormina, and the volcano's crater.

Our journey will continue to Monti Sartorius, consisting of 7 inactive craters from the 1865 eruption. This location, surrounded by white birch trees, is considered a key natural point of interest in Sicily.

After a brief stop at a mountain refuge, we will participate in a special activity. We will exit the 4x4, wear helmets, and enter Thieve's Cave, a small lava tunnel from Prehistory.

To conclude, we will return to the 4x4 and head to Zafferana Etnea, where you can sample Sicilian delicacies, including honey, wine, and different liquors. We will finish this 4.5-hour tour by returning to Catania.
