The Archaeological Historic Natural Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera is one of the secrets of Matera's beauty. It is one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in Italy, an unspoiled area, beyond a canyon that makes the view of Matera a breathtaking spectacle. What man has created blends with the natural wonders, so you will be entranced by this walk. Nature, silence, light, colours and perfumes, as well as human art, and very ancient rock churches and chapels carved into the rock, some of which are rich in medieval frescoes whose history will leave you amazed. Shepherds, monks, pilgrims, farmers, wayfarers, artists and art thieves have frequented this magical place for millennia, leaving behind traces, stories and amazing tales. Learn about the amazing geology of the area and learn how man has adapted to this area since prehistoric times by taking advantage of the local rock. The following itinerary can be customized upon request:
·The tour will begin with you being picked up from an arranged upon spot in Matera, from where you'll be driven to Matera's Murgia Park. ·On arrival, I'll introduce you to the Archaeological Historic Natural Park of the Rupestrian Churches of Matera, beginning a walking tour that will lead to a beautiful canyon only a few minutes in. ·Reaching the canyon, we'll get to the most beautiful viewpoint of the Sassi of Matera. ·We'll continue walking, along a scenic trail along the canyon, discovering the many species of plants that grow spontaneously in the area. ·Encountering plants, I'll teach you to recognize them as you marvel at their colors and scents. You'll also learn about the many traditional uses of plants, from cooking to crafts, from natural medicine to ancient food production techniques. ·At last, you'll discover the ancient rock cave churches, which despite being closed to the public, we can still get a glimpse of their precious frescoes through the gates. ·In the end, you'll be driven back.
