Etna tour or to put it in Italian, a trip to Etna! I'm talking about the most frequent request of the tourist visiting our region, the beautiful Sicily.
Etna, everyone knows, is the highest volcano in Europe and its continuous eruptions are a real attraction for tourists. It seems that he was hired by us Sicilians to increase visits to Sicily and he does not hold back, giving us suggestive fireworks. Sometimes it's a little scary, but in the cost / benefit algebra, the benefits certainly outweigh the fear of living on it.
Etna tour, first stop the Silvestri craters
But now let's talk about what the Etna tour includes. Our drivers will pick you up at the hotel to reach the Sapienza refuge. Already from this refuge it is possible to walk to some of the extinct craters on the Silvestri mountains. A lunar and suggestive show. It is just one of the numerous extinct craters that have frightened the local population in the past. In particular, these are volcanic eruptions that occurred in 1892 and lasted for 172 days, when a 7 km long lava flow seriously threatened the community of Nicolosi.
Continue the trip on Etna towards the summit craters
Our excursion on Etna continues in the direction of the summit craters. Our cars remain parked on the square of the Sapienza refuge and continue in the company of the alpine guides, on foot or aboard their Jeeps. It is not always possible to reach the summit of the volcano, however, the safety of people is the primary objective of all of us who go to the volcano. The active craters on the summit of Etna are 5 and even when they do not erupt lapilli, they are a true spectacle of nature that frightens and fascinates at the same time.
Tour enogastronomico sull'Etna
Our tour on Etna continues, numerous villages await us on the slopes of the volcano with a food and wine tradition that the world envies us. Nicolosi, Zafferana Etnea or Cesarò. We pass from the lunar landscape of Etna to the dense vegetation of the Nebrodi with its natural park rich in fauna. The numerous characteristic restaurants attached to the cellars offer only the embarrassment of choice.
A tour on Etna offers unique emotions and flavors that are the fruit of the Sicilian peasant tradition and of a very generous land with its inhabitants. We are waiting for you in Sicily!
