What To Expect
Manarola
Visit to the village, walk along the central road to the port and Punta Bonfiglio, with introduction to the Cinque Terre National Park; history, culture and traditions of these ancient villages, strategic destination of Roman domination, of the Genoese republic and of pirate raids. Guided observation of the territory characterized by sedimentary rocks overlooking the sea subject to marine erosion and landslides. Discovery of the Mediterranean scrub and the adaptations of coastal plants to the salty climate and summer heat.
Volastra
Climb to Volastra to discover the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1997 for the virtuous integration of the human landscape with the nature of this enchanting but extremely fragile place. The Cinque Terre have in fact been cultivated since ancient times with the construction of terraces supported by the famous "dry stone walls" which have preserved the integrity of the territory up to the present day from the risk of frequent landslides of the sedimentary rock subjected to marine erosion. In Volastra, a break in the shade awaits us with a snack of pesto, focaccia and white wine which will offer us the opportunity to delve into the local culinary traditions and the history of Cinque Terre wine production.

5.00We had the most amazing time on our hike through Cinque Terre with Sonya! She was so knowledgeable about the local history and culture but also had a special knowledge of plants. It was so cool to learn about and see familiar species growing in nature such as fennel, figs, cherries and grapes! Sonya was so personable, it was an honor to get to know her. I would 100% book another tour with her if/when I turn to Italy.
Amazing day in Cinque Terre with Sonia

5.00We are so happy that we picked Sonia to guide us in Cinque Terre! We learned so much and enjoyed spending time with Sonia. She even brought us special treats to share (yummy pesto/wine/ and local foccacia bread). We were able to see so much in a short period of time! Thank you Sonia for all your helpful recommendations and giving us a day we will always remember.
