We soon start a relaxing hike, first through a picturesque birch forest and then to some UNESCO World Heritage craters overlooking a vast lava desert, large expanses of lush forest, and the glittering sea in the far distance. Before lunch, wearing a helmet and using a torch, we will explore one of Mount Etna's most famous caves. Lunch will be served in a beautiful Chalet immersed in the Pine forest.
