Discover the magic of Etna North with an exciting 4x4 Jeep excursion through lunar landscapes, recent lava flows, and ancient craters surrounded by unspoiled nature.
Driving along thrilling trails aboard the Jeep, you’ll reach the side of an ancient crater which, thousands of years ago, collapsed and gave birth to a vast hilly volcanic area. Afterwards, a short trek through forest paths will take you to the vast Valle del Bove, where the most breathtaking views of Mount Etna will leave you speechless.
You’ll then descend into a fascinating lava tube cave, where you’ll learn how it evolved over time.
From here, the tour continues with a walk along a path to visit the Sartorius Mounts, craters formed during the 1865 eruption.
You’ll return to the address provided at the time of booking, following the scenic Mareneve road, passing through charming Etna villages such as Linguaglossa and Fiumefreddo
The tour takes place in shared Jeeps (not exclusive use), each able to carry up to 5 people
