Etna and the different types of volcanic activities all hiking up to the edge of some of the extinct craters formed by ancient eruptions.
In the second part of the Etna Alcantara tour, you will visit the Alcantara Valley where the Alcantara River has shaped the famous basaltic lava canyon formed by prehistoric lava flows of Mount Etna.

Super journée avec une guide (Sara) à la bonne humeur communicative !
Départ à 9h de l'hôtel (Messine) et retour à 17h30. On a pu faire une randonnée de presque 3 heures avec départ à 1900m d'altitude. Les commentaires de la guide, qui parle français, étaient enrichissants. Puis très bon repas dans un gîte (tout inclus) suivi d'une petite escale pour visiter une grotte en redescendant !
Je recommande :)
