Piano Provenzana
In addition to the vastness of the summit craters, you will admire a unique volcanic environment, with gas emissions, volcanic bombs, and the sparkling colors of the ground due to the sublimation of various elements, including sulfur in particular.
After the visit at the top, the path of descent in addition to being characterized by fine volcanic ash and slag, will always be very panoramic thanks to the beautiful view of the Sicilian coast.
The whole route will be seasoned with pleasant breaks where the guide will explain the history, the formation and the peculiarities of the volcano.
Once again at 2825masl, with the 4x4 we will return to Piano Provenzana, the final point of a great and inevitable experience in Sicily.
