Esperienza spettacolare di visita sull’Etna accompagnati da Gianluca, guida preparatissima, disponibile e coinvolgente anche con i bambini.
Abbiamo due bambini di 9 e 6 anni che sono rimasti affascinati dal paesaggio e dalle nozioni regalate dalla nostra guida!
Un ricordo che porteremo nel cuore!

Abbiamo fatto il percorso ad anello che porta alla Bottoniera, e ne è valsa la pena. Paesaggi spettacolari, a tratti fantascientifici, in una natura veramente incontaminata.
Il tutto accompagnato dalle spiegazioni dell’ottima guida, Gianluca, che ci ha illustrato la storia del Vulcano nel corso degli anni, oltre ad altre curiosità su flora e fauna.
Percorso adatto a tutti, difficoltà facile, consigliate comunque scarpe da trekking per alcuni punti un po’ più ostici.

Abbiamo fatto l'escursione con la guida Gianluca, che fin da subito ci ha accolti e ci ha prontamente informati sulle modalità e i tempi dell'escursione. Ci ha saggiamente suggerito di affittare calzature più adatte e di alleggerire lo zaino. Insieme abbiamo svolto un percorso di circa 4km in pendenza di una durata complessiva di 3 ore. Il livello di difficoltà del percorso era medio-basso, adatto anche ai più piccoli. L'escursione ha previsto numerose tappe intermedie per fare una pausa dal cammino e ricevere dalla guida interessanti curiose nozioni inerenti gli avvenimenti storico-geografici che hanno interessati i singoli luoghi. Panorami mozzafiato e una brezza costante hanno coronato l'esperienza, già in sé spettacolare.
