- Min: 1 Person
You will venture into the Agrimusco plateau, by the Nebrodi natural park, with a naturalistic guide.
This area is characterized by quartz sandstones that time has shaped in the most different ways. Traditionally these rocks are considered as the masterpiece of pre-historical populations, like the menhir or Stonehenge. Archeologists and geomorphologists are more inclined to think that these rocks have a natural origin dictated by the wind erosion.
You will pass through the typical vegetation of the Nebrodi mountains, the Malabotta forest, which is a centuries-old oak and beech forest in the natural reserve of Malabotta.
