My name is Giancarlo, and I am a passionate environmental nature guide in Sicily. For many years, I have been captivated by the natural sites that this marvelous land has to offer. Their beauty and formation have opened the doors to a deeper understanding of nature. My insatiable curiosity and thirst for adventure have driven me to explore them countless times, allowing me to enjoy direct contact with the surrounding environment. It is from here that my unconditional love for these enchanting places was born. Over time, I have come to believe that these natural wonders should not remain the exclusive domain of a fortunate few. Sicily, with its extraordinary diversity of landscapes, should be shared and appreciated by all those who choose to visit. I realized that many travelers, while desiring to immerse themselves in this experience, often struggle to discover the best way to fully embrace these places. Thus, I felt an irresistible urge to offer people the opportunity to explore my homeland alongside me, ensuring an unforgettable experience. I am a curious, sociable, and enterprising soul, and I cannot wait to share with you some of Sicily's hidden treasures. It will be a journey that not only allows you to visit iconic locations but also immerses you in its culture, history, and traditions. Through captivating excursions and authentic interactions with nature, I will lead you on an adventure that will leave you enchanted. I will guide you along pristine trails, unveil secret corners, and reveal the fascinating stories that lie behind each landscape. My mission is to ensure that every traveler who chooses to participate in this special experience falls in love with this land, just as I have. Are you ready to discover the true essence of Sicily? I look forward to welcoming you with open arms and showing you the authentic side of this wonderful island. • 7 years of activity through my company which proposes, manages, and organizes tours and outdoor experiences in eastern Sicily.

Overview of your Taormina tour

I propose an exclusive tour where you can admire the canyon of the Alcantara Gorges and the Gurne, natural pools carved into lava rock and fed by a river flowing from Etna’s snow. We will pass through Castiglione di Sicilia, a splendid medieval village, where you’ll be treated to granita, a refreshing traditional Sicilian delicacy similar to ice cream. During some walking trails, the local vegetation and various aromatic and medicinal plants will be explained to you. You’ll also taste fruits picked directly from the trees, offering a unique natural experience. On Etna, we’ll stop under the pine forest, where you’ll be served typical sandwiches filled with local salami, ham, and cheeses. To conclude, we will ascend to the upper part of Etna to see ancient lava flows and some craters. A full-day tour for nature lovers, adventurers, and those curious about traditional Sicilian food, all in a relaxed and informal setting.
