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

We will explore a significant area of the National Park of Alta Murgia, learning about the bauxite extraction process that historically contributed to the region's economy.

During the tour, we will observe the bright red tones of the bauxite minerals alongside the green of the forests of Aleppo pines and cypresses, enjoying panoramic views of the landscape's natural beauty.

As we navigate this environment, we will also see the golden wheat fields of the Bradano Valley, extending to the Lucan Apennines.
