MammaSicily brings you to the highest volcano in Europe between caves and trails, volcanoes and butterflies!

Let's reveal the program:
h.10,00. Appointment at Viagrande and departure towards Piazzale Sapienza (2000 m a.s.l.). We will visit the volcanic craters of the Silvestri Mountains, the lava flows of the past, the ancient forests of Etna and a house surrounded by a lava flow!

After lunch we get back on track again to visit the Pineta Cubania: an extraordinary forest of Etna (1400 m a.s.l.). We will walk for about an hour to reach the summit of Mount Rinatu (1569 meters), from where you can see both the top of Mount Etna and the stunning Valle del Bove, a large and deep valley full of ancient volcanic craters!
h. 17:00. We will visit and explore the Cave of the Thieves, the most amusing of the lava caves of the Etna area.
