About this experience
Have you ever walked into history?
Forget the usual paths. Get ready to immerse yourself in a spectacular canyon where the power of nature and human ingenuity have been blending for millennia, in a miles-long "open-air museum", immersed in the scent of Mediterranean scrub.
What we will explore together:
The Catacombs of the Larderia: We will enter the largest catacomb complex in southeastern Sicily.
The Gymnasium: We will discover a rare example of Hellenistic-Roman architecture carved into the rock..
Pernamazzoni Village: We will admire the incredible multi-storey cave dwellings, embedded in the limestone walls like an ancient human hive.
The Sicano Castle: An impregnable fortress suspended in the void, testimony of the ancient populations.
Necropolis of Calicantone: A jump back to the Bronze Age, to observe the monumental faux-pillar façades.
6 km or 10 km tour (see options)
Moderate hike that does not have major differences in altitude.
