with Calogero
4
nights
Four days of walking we will travel through an ancient and little-known Sicily
A trek combining nature and history winding through prehistoric paths with historical and geographical importance. In the four days of walking we will travel through an ancient and little-known Sicily, encountering points of interest starting from from the late Neolithic period all the way to the present day. Along the way we will have the opportunity to truly feel the remains left by people and cultures that have characterized the landscape of rural Sicilian for thousands of years. We will admire the magnificent landscapes of the Madonie and the explosive biodiversity of the countryside.

Calogero works as a hiking guide in the upper and lower regions of the Madonie, with VALLONE WILDERNESS. His career was born from passion: his love for the Madonie and their surroundings led him to explore even the most hidden areas. He started by sharing his discoveries in nature with friends and eventually others. Over time, he created a network of contacts including restaurateurs, artisans, and holiday home hosts in the Caltavuturo area and neighboring towns.
