This is a somewhat strenuous walk that takes you through some pastureland, then down through beautiful wooded areas, culminating in a canyon floor with an incredible spring fed pool. The hike back up to the start was shorter, and not quite as scenic, but still enjoyable. Our guide stopped along the way to describe some of the native plants and trees.
We really enjoyed our hike with Federico. The canyon was lush and green and we had a nice swim at a lovely pool at the bottom. Federico was also very knowledgeable and sociable, and offered detailed explanations of the plant and wildlife we encountered. Basic fitness is recommended, and while we were lucky during the ascent that it just then became cloudy, that part of the hike is potentially quite warm as it is exposed (not much shade).
Our tourist guide, Nataliya Vinnyk, made our experience through everything Etna related unforgettable. Thank you Etnatribe.
Great guide who collected us on time from our rented villa on the outskirts of Siracusa, and explained the options for the tour.
What can I say? Etna was remarkable, the lava cave, the gorge and the trip to a nearby farm were all cultural delights! Our guide, Nataly from the Etna Tribe, made the full day feel like a visceral classroom. We have travelled extensively and found the trip to Sicily to be a non-stop surprise. We absolutely loved the entire time there and our excursion with Nataly reinforced the hospitality, authenticity and vast beauty of the island and its people. Go! You will love it!
