Hiking to the Bauxite Mines of Apulia

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at the Azienda del Cavone. From this point on the outskirts of Spinazzola, we'll start a hiking route to the bauxite mines of Apulia.

We'll walk through the National Park of Alta Murgia and learn about the bauxite extraction process in the past, which was a significant economic driver of the region.

During the tour, we'll see the bright red tones of the bauxite minerals contrasted with the green of the lush forests of Aleppo pines and cypresses. Panoramic views of the natural beauty of these landscapes will be highlighted.

As we walk through this environment, we'll also see the golden wheat fields of the Bradano Valley, extending to the high mountains of the Lucan Apennines.

After a hike of about 3 hours, we'll conclude the hiking route back at the meeting point.
