Itinerary

Manarola

one hour

Visit to the village, walk along the central road to the port and Punta Bonfiglio, with introduction to the Cinque Terre National Park; history, culture and traditions of these ancient villages, strategic destination of Roman domination, of the Genoese republic and of pirate raids.

Guided observation of the territory characterized by sedimentary rocks overlooking the sea subject to marine erosion and landslides. Discovery of the Mediterranean scrub and the adaptations of coastal plants to the salty climate and summer heat.
Volastra

one hour

Climb to Volastra to discover the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1997 for the virtuous integration of the human landscape with the nature of this enchanting but extremely fragile place. The Cinque Terre have in fact been cultivated since ancient times with the construction of terraces supported by the famous "dry stone walls" which have preserved the integrity of the territory up to the present day from the risk of frequent landslides of the sedimentary rock subjected to marine erosion.

In Volastra, a break in the shade awaits us with a snack of pesto, focaccia and white wine which will offer us the opportunity to delve into the local culinary traditions and the history of Cinque Terre wine production.
Corniglia

one hour

The excursion continues between terraces and Mediterranean scrub, passing through wetlands and holm oak forests, with an incomparable view of the entire marine area of the Cinque Terre and the small villages hidden among the rocks. In Corniglia a panoramic terrace awaits us that embraces the entire day.
Vernazza

one hour

We will be able to reach Vernazza on foot or by train depending on the strength left available. Visit to the village hidden in the only natural inlet of the Cinque Terre. Here we will end our journey through botany, geology, traditions and history of this land rich in culture and rare beauty.
