Private guided excursion at sunset (1 to 3 hours maximum walking, based on the group preferences) on Etna south to Etna east, exploring the places of the historical massive eruption of 1669; the 2001 eruption and lots of lesser-known key places on the slope of Etna to understand its volcanology. Include also an interesting visit to the "Valle del Bove", Rifugio Sapienza at 2000m o. s. l, and other places walking the tracks of the "Grand tour travelers". The plus of this excursion are the breathtaking colors of our Volcano at sunset, you'll never forget. It is a trip with many stops. Vertical and horizontal caves full of history, craters of different typology, calderas, destroyed buildings, lava quarries, lava rivers, big eruptions valleys and more. This itinerary will give you a good idea of this volcano is and what it represents for the local people living at "her" feet. Many typical villages will be crossed during this trip, and some stops to taste the town's specialties, are part of the program.
The start is suggested afternoon and depending on the season. - We will visit many spots while hiking such as: 1) Rests of destroyed villages disappeared under meters of lava, after huge eruptions; 2) Volcanic craters, lava tubes, eruption valleys; 3) The highest point on Etna at 2000m o. s. l. Some of them may require up to 1-hour easy hiking, some just a 15min walk and others are just by where we stop. The full driving itinerary is around 70 km long around the volcano, with many changing landscapes to expect. Depending on the season is possible to experience more than 10C° differences from Catania to the highest point on Etna at 2000m o. s. l. - Stop for a typical lunch somewhere or on request typical food and drink can be provided. - It is also possible to stop by some winery or farm to taste local products during the trip. It is a private excursion, so it is possible to tailor-make the trip on the guest's preferences before or during the trip.
