Mt. Vesuvius Hike

After hotel pickup at the designated time, we'll hop on a minibus and head to the Vesuvius National Park. The 1-hour 30-minute hike will take us to see the incredible landscapes of Vesuvius from up high, climbing on foot 167 meters to reach the top. The effort will be worth it, as we'll gaze out at panoramic views of Monte Somma.

Along the hike, we'll admire the extensive solidified lava flows and discover how the flora has integrated into this seemingly barren landscape. Vesuvius is known for its vineyards, and we will learn the importance of winemaking in this area and many other facts.

There will be a discussion about the eruption in 79 AD that buried Herculaneum and Pompeii. Our path will lead us to 'La Capannuccia', where we will see the volcanic cone emitting gas and enjoy views of the Gulf of Naples. Afterward, we will begin our descent back to the minibus, which will take us to a local establishment for a tasting of local products. The activity will conclude with a return to your hotel after a total of 3.5 hours.
