Tour to Etna North Base and Alcantara Gorges
Overview
From a naturalistic point of view, it is the most exciting tour as we will cross the small and typical municipalities of the area such as Calatabiano, Castiglione di Sicilia and Linguaglossa to reach Piano Provenzana. Upon returning, our journey will continue to reach the Alcantara Gorges: a lava canyon crossed by icy waters.
Here there will be the opportunity to taste typical local products inside the botanical and geological park and use an elevator to reach the canyon.
