Tour Itinerary
Driving on the way

Etna and its wines is an
exclusive tour
to
explore the
Mount Etna volcano. Our knowledgeable
and enthusiastic guides
will show the Etna
landscapes and wildness,
endemic flora and
geological features
explaining the
surrounding fragile
environment. Having care
of it, we'll take you
following off-road
itineraries through
Etna's lava fields
always driving on
tracks, exploring
caves, and walking to
reach the "Valle
del Bove" Caldera's rim,
immense theatre of some
major last eruptions.
After the visit of a
lava tunnel and having
had a pic-nic lunch with
sicilian food and wine,
VolcanoTrek's guides
will drive you up to
2000 meters, from where
we will walk across the
lava flows of the 2002
eruption up to the 2002
eruptive fissure (2
hours long roundtrip

the incredible power of
nature that surrounds
you.
