Cinque Terre Hiking Experience

Hiking through the Cinque Terre is an amazing experience that gives a different perspective of this unique area, we'll be surrounded by the lush vegetation of the National Park with spectacular views of the multicoloured coastal villages that reflect the glittering sea. Admiring the Cinque Terre along trails means coming close to the old tradition of wine and olive oil production or even interacting with locals as they work in olive groves or vineyards. We can have the chance to see folks out working in olive groves or carrying wine grapes from the harvest, with baskets full of grapes carried on top of the head or on the "monorail", the typical and unique means of transport on the hills. We will walk along the cliffs, amongst the forests and vineyards, private beautiful gardens surrounded by the scented mediterranean vegetation. It's an adventure that takes us off the beaten tracks and we'll be so rewarded at the end of the day with more knowledge about the environment and its vegetation and wildlife.
