Welcome to Lazio, a corner of Italy where nature meets legend, where the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea blends with the green of the forests, and where every trail tells stories of ancient gods. The Circeo National Park is a land of extraordinary beauty, a mosaic of lakes, golden dunes, and centuries-old forests. On this active journey led by an expert guide, we’ll enjoy many unique experiences: kayaking along the cliffs of Maga Circe, cycling through the wonders of the Selva di Circe and the coastal lakes, exploring the ruins of ancient acropolises, and navigating the waters of the Cavata River. Every day will be an adventure through biodiversity, accompanied by the colors of a land that never ceases to enchant. We’ll immerse ourselves in rationalist architecture, archaeological sites, lush nature, and unforgettable sunsets. An experience that rejuvenates both body and soul—a journey into the wild and fascinating heart of Lazio.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
We’ll arrive at the hotel in Latina in the early afternoon and check in. We’ll have time to relax and settle in while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. Before dinner, we’ll meet with the group and the guide for a briefing on the week-long trek in Lazio—a chance to get to know each other and learn about the itinerary and all the experiences that await us. The day will end with a dinner featuring authentic flavorsfrom the Agro Pontino region—perfect for immediately immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of this journey through nature, history, and adventure. After dinner, we’ll chat for a bit, and then it’s off to bed!
Second day
Kayaking at the Circeo Promontory and Sabaudia
After breakfast, an adventure combining sea and nature awaits us in the Circeo National Park. Paddling our kayaks through the calm waters of the wetlands, we’ll reach Torre Paola. From there, the Tyrrhenian Sea will open up before us. The journey continues with a hike along the beach until we reach one of the “Città di Fondazione” of the Agro Pontino region: Sabaudia, an icon of Rationalist architecture. We’ll stroll among its perfect geometric lines, exploring iconic buildings such as the Casa del Combattente, the Town Hall, and the Post Office, which evoke an atmosphere suspended between the painterly visions of De Chirico and the poetry of Pasolini. Return to the hotel for some relaxation and dinner.
Third day
Bike Tour Through the Circeo Forest and the Coastal Lakes
This morning, we’ll hop on our bikes for a ride through the heart of Circeo National Park.Our itinerary will take us to explore the Circeo Forest, a true green lung, and the coastal lakes of Caprolace and Paola. We’ll leave Sabaudia behind, cycling through the countryside of the Agro Pontino, following the historic “migliare”—the straight roads that mark the distance in Roman miles between Rome and the Agro Pontino. We’ll also pass through the rationalist architecture of Sabaudia, a one-of-a-kind city. After this day filled with excitement and unforgettable views, we’ll return to the hotel to relax a bit.
Fourth day
Arx Circeii: In Search of the Acropolis
After the wonderful excursions of the past few days, we’re taking it easy this morning: we can choose to relax at the hotel, cooling off in its beautiful outdoor pool, or book a treatment at the hotel’s exclusive spa. For those who prefer to explore a bit, we highly recommend visiting one of Italy’s most romantic spots, the Giardino di Ninfa, or setting out to discover Latina, arranging your own transportation (not included in the package). We’ll save our energy for the afternoon, when we’ll set out to explore one of the most evocative areas of the Circeo National Park:the ancient fortress of Arx Circeii. We’ll hike up the trails leading tothe ancient Acropolis to admire the remains of the mighty Cyclopean walls. From up here, the view is unparalleled: the sun setting over the sea paints the Tyrrhenian coast in shades of red and gold. We could arrange for a packed dinner to enjoy the sunset or have dinner on our own.
Fifth day
Canoeing on the Cavata Riverand the Temple of Jupiter
Today we’ll embark on a fascinating journey along the Cavata River, one of the hidden gems ofthe Agro Pontino. We are on the legendary Regina Viarum, the Via Appia, a crossroads for Roman travelers, merchants, and legionaries. Right from the banks of this small oasis—which is now our hotel—we’ll set out in canoes to paddle upstream. The water flows from the springs of the Lepini Mountains, creating a unique ecosystem. In the afternoon, we’ll visit Monte Sant’Angelo, known as Monte di Giove, at an elevation of 227 meters. Here stands the Temple of Jupiter Anxur, which we’ll explore on a guided tour. Afterward, we’ll have the chance to visit Terracina, known as the home of the sorceress Circe in the Odyssey. We’ll then return to the hotel for our final dinner together.
Sixth day
After days spent immersed in nature, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, ancient ruins, and breathtaking landscapes, it’s time to say goodbye. After breakfast, for those who still have a little time before departure, we recommend a stroll through the streets of Latina, perhaps stopping at one of the historic cafés for a final breakfast with a view of the Rationalist architecture. Alternatively, enjoy one last outing in nature: a relaxing visit to Lake Fogliano, where flora and fauna blend in perfect harmony between land and water. We say goodbye with hearts full of emotion and minds rich with memories of this journey through history, unspoiled landscapes, and authentic local experiences. Until our next adventure!
