Overview

The tour begins with a pickup from hotels or B&Bs in Catania. A professional nature guide leads the group along a trail while explaining the formation, history, and current activity of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano. The guide also points out the local plants and animals found in the area. The first stop is a viewpoint overlooking the Valle del Bove. Afterward, participants put on helmets and use torches to explore a lava flow cave. The group then ascends to about 2,000 meters above sea level for a gentle hike among ancient and more recent craters, surrounded by a landscape resembling the surface of the moon. The trip concludes by watching the sunset from the mountain before returning to Catania.
