Etna Jeep Offroad-tur: Lavastrømme, Etna-vine, frokost i 2000 meters højde
Beskrivelse
Spændende jeeptur og vandretur på lavastrømmene på jagt efter hornitoer og lavahuler, indtil man når den vidunderlige sprække, der afslører de gamle strømme, der har fulgt hinanden gennem århundreder og afdækker Etnas vulkans oprindelse. Den følelse, som vores udflugt fremkalder, er unik. Du vil føle, at du går på månen og er på vej hele vejen til Jordens centrum. Når du går langs omkredsen af den store sprække, kan du beundre den utrolige række af lavabasalter. Denne behagelige udflugt tager dig med til de magiske steder, hvor ETNA DOC-vine produceres, hvor den vulkanske jord blandes med den sicilianske sol. De bedste vingårde venter på dig, så du kan besøge vinmarkerne dyrket på vulkansk sand og smage vulkanens unikke vine. Endelig vil en behagelig og afslappende frokost i 2000 meters højde med typiske sicilianske produkter være den perfekte belønning for en unik og uforglemmelig oplevelse.

På Etnas skråninger afslører stien vulkanen. Udbrudsåbningen i 2001 dukker op, et månelandskab af basaltklipper. Den varme jord under fødderne og lugten af svovl indikerer aktive fumaroler. Foran os er munden et lateralt eksplosionskrater, vægge med lag af lava. Glødende sten formidler dynamikken i den magma, der formede dette sted. Selvom der er gået mange år, er udbrudsåbningen stadig aktiv med fumarolisk aktivitet og brud i jorden. Landskabet viser vulkanologiske tegn, såsom tilstedeværelsen af vulkanske bomber og nye sprækker. Vi stopper, opmærksomme på den geologiske proces. Den eruptive udluftning giver med sit vulkanologiske skue en unik mulighed for at forstå vulkanens indre dynamik. Panoramaet, oversået med lavaformationer, er en visuel lektion i Etnas geologiske historie. Med dette show i vores hjerter fortsætter vi rejsen og tager mindet om disse steder med os.
Carcarazzi-kraternes hule Det er et lodret udviklende hulrum placeret inden for eruptionsapparatet fra 1766-udbruddet af Calcarazzi-bjergene, og som alle hulrum af denne type er væggene ekstremt ustabile, da de består af svejset slagge. I det eruptive brud er der noget magma tilbage, som er ved at konsolidere sig, men en overfladisk del af bruddet kan forblive tom og tilgængelig gennem de eksplosive eller effusive åbninger, hvilket giver anledning til en type vulkansk hule. Selvom udbrudssystemerne i Etna er meget talrige, åbner hulrum af denne type sig kun i nogle få af dem, faktisk forbliver de fleste af de sekundære kratere tillukket af det pyroklastiske materiale ved slutningen af deres aktivitet.
Udflugten afslører vulkanen i sin storhed. Når vi når udsigten over Valle del Bove, byder den gamle caldera os velkommen som et geologisk amfiteater. Lagdelte vægge af lava, pyroklaster og aske fortæller om vulkanens tumultariske historie gennem århundreder. Dannelsen af calderaen er resultatet af komplekse geologiske processer. Under et udbrud kan hurtig tømning af magmakammeret forårsage kollaps af toppen, kendt som calderakollaps. Denne begivenhed skaber den store amfiteaterformede depression, som den vi beundrer i dag i Valle del Bove. Lavastrømme og pyroklastiske aflejringer har yderligere formet calderaen over tid. Udsigten over Valle del Bove bliver et vindue på Etnas vulkanologiske historie, en historie skrevet i klippernes lagdelinger. Størrelsen af denne geologiske formation giver en unik mulighed for at udforske den indre dynamik i en af verdens mest aktive vulkaner.

Antonio made our day on Etna a truly memorable experience. Yes, it’s important to see the lava flows across the mountain and get a chance to hike through them. But from a granita stop, to a winery visit, to stops along the road to learn the smallest of details, we learned so much throughout the tour. He clearly loves what he does and that makes the best kind of guide. Throughout the tour, he was stopping to take pictures to send to us - plus did a drone shot in one area. Logistics were a breeze too. Despite booking last minute, he made sure we had clear instructions on how to meet our driver (Taormina isn’t conducive to easy navigation) and everything was taken care of each step of the way including protective equipment. I’d recommend this to almost anyone visiting. There were some kids and older travelers. This tour isn’t too grueling, but even if you want to do a hike to the top separately, thus is a good way to learn about the mountain before submitting and take in experiences from that are integral to Etna.
Unusual experience…. at first I was like “wait what” and thought maybe this was a mistake as we jumped in this locals Nissan (not Jeep, lol he said that’s just what they call all 4x4) and our first stop was for gas …. but actually this turned out to be an unforgettable day. He loves Sicily and loves the history of Mt Etna and if you want to hear the passion from a local this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Wine tasting at a local vineyard (best wine ever) even eating his homemade bread and jam with the wine, stopping at the lava quarry and lava flows and eating atop Mt Etna were all highlights! We came in on a cruise ship and his pick up spot was just outside the port (we walked and totally easy/doable walk). Overall an experience we won’t forget.
What a wonderful experience learning about Etna and the area around it. Alessandro was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed our experience. I would highly recommend it to everyone. I told Alessandro, I'll be back. My grandsons will have a blast!
Alessandro made the tour, he was passionate and authentic. The tour let you experience everything in the area from granita to wine and all of the history of etna.
Highly recommend, Alessandro is very knowledgeable and gives a unique tour one of the best tours I’ve ever had in Europe.
The excursion does not go to the peaks of Mount Etna, but you reach the maximum height at Rifugio Sapienza. On the other hand, the lunch at Rifugio Sapienza and the wine tasting were truly up to expectations. The guide Alessandro explained the type of volcano Etna is and its peculiarities very well.
Alessandro was awesome! He was very informative, knowledgeable, engaging and funny. We really enjoyed his passion for vulcanology and all the friends he introduced us to while teaching about Sicilian culture.
Alessandro was amazing, very knowledgeable on everything about Mt Etna. We saw things and learned more than I expected. I would definitely recommend. Alessandro was very personable
This was an excellent tour, the tour guide and his wife were excellent. On the way up Mt Etna began smoking. The tour guide was extremely informative. We stopped at a winery where we saw a little movie of how the wine was made many years ago in the 1865. They also had cherries, lemons and other fruits on the farm. We saw a round Rainbow called an Angels rainbow which is very rare. We ate at the only restaurant on Mt Etna. My salad was excellent, but people complained about the food, which was all carbohydrates.
Great way to see Etna off-road and enjoy local wines. Our guide Alessandro went above and beyond to take loads of photos for us. Even used a drone for magical photos
