Program*
With the meeting at the predetermined points with the volcanological guide, the tour begins that will lead you to the discovery of two of the volcanoes of the beautiful Aeolian Islands: Stromboli and its Sciara del Fuoco and Vulcano with its Gran Cratere la Fossa.
On the first day of two, with an appointment at 4:30 p.m., it includes a trekking excursion of medium difficulty going up Stromboli to the magnificent Sciara del Fuoco at 400 meters, an altitude accessible only with a volcanological guide. During the excursion the guide will introduce you to the geological, floristic and faunal characteristics of Stromboli and you will be able to admire unique landscapes in the world with a splendid panoramic view of the entire Tyrrhenian Sea at sunset, as well as on the summit area of the volcano and its wonderful explosions at night, a beautiful and exclusive experience that can hardly be repeated in other volcanoes in the world. You will be able to have a packed dinner pampered by the sound of the roars and the rolling of the incandescent material on the Sciara del Fuoco. At the end of the visit we will return to the village to rest and take the hydrofoil in the morning to the island of Vulcano.
On the second day of two, departing at 08:30/08:45 after a short breakfast at the port bar, it includes a trek of medium difficulty on the volcano of the island of Vulcano up to the crater rim of the Gran Cratere La Fossa. Here, too, during the excursion, the guide will introduce you to the geological, floristic and faunal characteristics of the volcano and will tell you about the latest eruption and the new state of alert issued in 2021 and recently returned. The landscape and the panorama of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the remaining Aeolian Islands will be incredible, as well as the yellow summit area of the volcano itself, full of fumaroles, even hot, with smell and sulfur crystals. Once you arrive at your destination, you will take a circular route and have a packed lunch at a panoramic point and after the stop you will resume the trek to return to the starting point. The afternoon after the greetings will be free for a nice swim.. warm.
