Hiking to the Bauxite Mines of Apulia

We'll walk through one of the most notable areas in the National Park of Alta Murgia. In this natural area of southern Italy, we'll learn about the bauxite extraction process. This mining activity was a significant economic driver of the region.
During the tour, we'll see the bright red tones of bauxite minerals contrasted with the green of the lush forests of Aleppo pines and cypresses. The hike offers incredible panoramic views of the natural beauty of these landscapes.
