    Just 10 minutes from there, we will arrive at Bovilla Lake, where the hike begins. After a short briefing from the guide, we’ll start the hike.

For photography enthusiasts, this is the perfect spot to capture unforgettable shots. If you prefer to relax, find a peaceful corner to sit and enjoy nature.
