Today pick-up at Catania hotel and departure to Etna Volcano (South side). The first stop will be Zafferana Etnea, a little town important for its honey production, where we will visit one of the most famous farmhouse for a delicious tasting of typical biological products such as honey, wine, etc. Later we will visit a lava cave using helmets and lamps (kit included) and then we will do trekking through one of the Nature Paths of Etna Park.
Finally we will stop at the Sapienza Refuge (up to 1.986 mt – no ascent to the top) for a pleasant walk around lava flows of the last eruptions and the ancient Silvestri craters (inactive) dating to the eruption of 1892. From there you will have the chance to enjoy a wonderful breathtaking sunset. We will return to the hotel in the evening.
