Exciting Jeep tour and walk on the crests of the craters in search of hornito and lava flow caves until reaching the wonderful view of the prehistoric Valle del Bove to discover the origins of the Etna volcano.

The emotion that our excursion provokes is unique. You will feel like walking on the moon and going to the center of the Earth. Walking along the summit perimeter of the craters you can admire the incredible volcanic cone from where the lava came out.

The pleasant excursion will take you to discover magical places where nature expresses itself simultaneously with destruction and reconstruction.

Finally, the pleasant and relaxing tasting of typical Sicilian products will be the right reward for a unique and unrepeatable experience.

Mount Etna

On the slopes of Etna, the path reveals the volcano. The 2001 eruptive vent emerges, a lunar landscape of basalt rocks. The warm soil underfoot and the smell of sulfur indicate active fumaroles. In front of us, the mouth is a lateral explosion crater, walls with layers of lava. Glowing rocks convey the dynamics of the magma that shaped this place. Although many years have passed, the eruptive vent is still active, with fumarolic activity and fractures in the ground. The landscape shows volcanological signs, such as the presence of volcanic bombs and new fractures. We stop, aware of the geological process. The eruptive vent, with its volcanological spectacle, offers a unique opportunity to understand the internal dynamics of the volcano. The panorama, dotted with lava formations, is a visual lesson in Etna's geological history. With this show in our hearts, we continue the journey, taking the memory of these places with us.

Mount Etna

Cave of the Carcarazzi Craters It is a vertically developing cavity located within the eruptive apparatus of the 1766 eruption of the Calcarazzi mountains, and like all cavities of this type, the walls are extremely unstable as they are made up of welded slag. In the eruptive fracture some magma remains which is consolidating, but a superficial part of the fracture can remain empty and accessible through the explosive or effusive vents, giving rise to a type of volcanic cave. Although the eruptive systems of Etna are very numerous, cavities of this type open only in a few of them, in fact most of the secondary craters remain occluded by the pyroclastic material at the end of their activity.

    Alessandro was very knowledgeable and took us to places that the cruise excursions didn’t. For example we went to the lava tubes, we also went to the lave flow which cruise stayed at the base. Finally he took us to the lava desert which he took us on a hike and we went to the bottom of a crater also a spot which was only reached by us on a private tour. He was very informative and took us to wine tasting of the region which were great, different olive oils and honey tasting delish. Finally he treated us to a cipollina which all I can say is wow delish Definitely recommend if you are looking for something different and more personalized. Had an amazing time!!!

    Bring water, good tennis shoes or hiking shoes, Alessandro, was amazing so was Antonio. Very passionate and knowledgeable about 🌋 Volcanos and Sicily. Wonderful experience tasting all things Sicily, showing us videos where Lava once flowed where we stood. Would absolutely recommend, inexpensive for what we received in our opinion. Very organized, on time, excellent communication, we all had a wonderful time. They took lots of pictures of us so we didn’t have to worry about taking pictures which was a huge bonus!

  • Interesting tour, but not a jeep adventure

    Tour guides were friendly. Driver communicated well on pickup and was on time, with meetup at our hotel. All 4 tour stops were ok. first was a lava flow - interesting but not that impressive. next, visit to winery and tasting. this was fun. next, inside a lava cave. not a very large cave. worth 10 minutes of time. finally, to the crater. we thought this was an off-road jeep adventure, but there was no off-roads or jeeps. we had rented a car and could have done this entire tour on our own. the explanations by the guide were informative, but this was just really a drive to the top of the mountain. by the way, you do not really go to the top, only to one crater about half way or two-thirds up. i am not sure if it is even possible to go to the too, other than hiking.

    Alessandro was great! Very well organized and clear with communication. He helped to document the trip and was flexible enough to meet the needs of the group. He even sent me some videos of Etna erupting one week after we left! Just awesome.
