About the event
The 5 Terre National Park is among the smallest in Italy but contains a treasure made up of kilometers of rocky coast, with bays, inlets and beaches, dominated by a chain of mountains that runs parallel to the sea. A territory shaped by man over the centuries, with terraces and cultivations of olive trees and vines, crossed by a dense network of paths and mule tracks and surrounded by Mediterranean scrub.
In this beautiful setting, ancient villages of extraordinary beauty are inserted, nestled in splendid coves or perched on high cliffs.
With a 3-day trek, we will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the nature and history of these fantastic places, at a slow pace, enjoying the smells and flavors of the area.
The trek will have a single base point for all 3 days, allowing you to walk with a light backpack, containing only what is needed for the individual excursions.
