Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the world's most active volcanoes, ascending to a breathtaking 8,500 feet (2,600 meters) above sea level. Your journey will begin with a rugged off-road ride, followed by a thrilling cable car ascent to 8,200 feet (2,500 meters), where your guided hike will commence. From this panoramic vantage point, near the summit, be mesmerized by the contrasting vistas: on one side, the dramatic, smoldering volcanic landscape of Etna, and on the other, the stunning Ionian coastline stretching out before you. Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll explore the volcanic terrain, navigating a path that weaves past craters formed during the 2001 eruptions. As you ascend further, you'll reach the summit of the 2001 crater, taking in the awe-inspiring views. The descent will follow, winding through the accumulated volcanic ash from past eruptions, ultimately leading you to the majestic "Valle del Bove", a vast caldera where lava flows have shaped the landscape.
