Etna Sunset Tour

Our Naturalist Guides will accompany you during the tour and will illustrate in a clear and simple way the volcanological phenomena that gave rise to these very particular places. You will discover natural scenery of extraordinary beauty, including the lunar landscapes around the Silvestri Craters and the semi-desert area of the volcanic caldera “Valle del Bove” ( Valley of the Ox).

During your visit to Etna you will come across a unique view and you can admire the immense expanse of the Valley of the Ox , an ancient volcanic caldera formed 10,000 years ago.

Along the way you will be able to observe the lava flows dating back to different ages, real evidence of the intense volcanic activity of Etna that has gone through centuries of history such as volcanic bombs, craters and various lateral craters. With a walk between craters of old formation and those of more recent formation, you will cross the area affected by the lava flow generated by the 1991/93 eruption and you will reach the Sapienza Refuge at an altitude of 2000 meters.

The first stop of the Etna tour is scheduled in the municipality of Zafferana Etnea. You will stop at a certified farm and you will be offered a tasting of typical products.

The Etna tour continues with the exploration of a spectacular lava cave. The guides will accompany you and you will be provided with the necessary equipment (helmet and torches) to be able to visit the volcanic cave in total safety.
