Hiking to Pantalica Nature Reserve

About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on an exhilarating hiking tour through the lush paradise along the Anapo River, one of Sicily's most enchanting natural wonders. Our adventure begins at the entrance of the Pantalica Reserve, where a network of trails awaits. You will traverse ancient mule tracks and follow the path of an old railway line, surrounded by the rich flora and fauna that find refuge among the limestone rocks. This diverse terrain, carved over 300 meters deep, offers both easy, flat routes and more challenging trails for trekking enthusiasts.

As we delve deeper into the reserve, we will uncover the secrets of a prehistoric site dating back to the Late Bronze Age (13th-8th century BC). Marvel at the thousands of cave tombs that dot the landscape, creating a unique and mysterious atmosphere. Along the way, we will pause to admire the serene beauty of the Calcinara and Bottigliera streams, where the crystal-clear waters provide a refreshing break.

The highlight of our tour is the flexibility it offers. Join us for an unforgettable journey through one of Sicily's most captivating natural and historical gems.
