WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
First day
We arrive in the late afternoon at our hotel in the heart of southern Lazio, check in, and meet with our guide for an introductory briefing on the program. During the group dinner, we will get to know our fellow travelers and discover the first curiosities about the Circeo National Park, between sea, myth, and wild nature. It is the perfect time to immerse ourselves in the authentic atmosphere of Lazio at its most natural and prepare for our days of trekking.
Second day
Picco di Circe: a complete crossing between sky and sea in the name of myth
After breakfast, we will take a private transfer to Circeo National Park. From here, we will begin our trek to Monte Circeo (541 m), along a scenic trail that alternates between sheer cliffs and Mediterranean scrub with lush vegetation. Continuing along the trail , we will reach the most famous mountain in Lazio, from whose summit we will enjoy an extraordinary view of the Pontine Islands, the Tyrrhenian coast and, on clear days, as far as Vesuvius. An immersive experience between legend and nature, in the places of the sorceress Circe. Return to the hotel: those who wish can also decide to book an entrance to the hotel's wellness center to end the day in relaxation.
Third day
Monti Lepini: villages, history, and wild nature
Today we will explore the medieval village of Bassiano, overlooking the Pontine Plain and nestled among the woods of the Monti Lepini. From the historic center, we will begin our trek through beech and holm oak forests to the Sanctuary of the Crucifix and the mystical Selvascura Cave, immersed in an almost fairy-tale atmosphere. Along the way, we will enjoy spectacular views of the village of Sermoneta andthe Abbey of Valvisciolo. At the end of the day, those who wish can take part in a tasting of typical local products , such as the famous Bassiano ham. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Fourth day
Circe's Forest: the lost Amazon in Circeo National Park
Today we will depart by private transfer to reach Circe's Forest, a unique ecosystem that survived the ancient Pontine Marshes, which were then reclaimed during the Fascist period. Here we will walk among wonderful ash, turkey oak, and English oak trees; ponds and marshes that, with the rains, bring the ancient swamp back to life. This nature reserve is a true paradise for lovers of biodiversity, where it is easy to spot deer, foxes, and herons. A rejuvenating trek through woods and legends, immersed in the heart of the Circeo National Park. In the afternoon, we will return to the hotel for dinner.
Fifth day
Breakfast at the hotel and farewells with the group. One last look at the Circeo landscapes before returning home. Thus ends a walking tour between sea and mountains, in one of the most fascinating places in Lazio, where trekking becomes an experience of deep connection with nature and with the millennial history of this land.
