You will walk on the edge of the Central Crater, we will face the vertiginous Northeast Crater and we will admire at our side the famous Southeast Crater, author of the most recent and impressive eruptions. In addition to the vastness of the summit craters, you will admire a unique volcanic environment, with gas emissions, volcanic bombs, and the sparkling colors of the ground due to the sublimation of various elements, including sulfur in particular. After the visit at the top, the path of descent in addition to being characterized by fine volcanic ash and slag, will always be very panoramic thanks to the beautiful view of the Sicilian coast. The whole route will be seasoned with pleasant breaks where the guide will explain the history, the formation and the peculiarities of the volcano.
