We will visit some of the typical buildings of the area, similar to the Sardinian nuraghi or the Puglian trulli. Continuing along the route, we will cross the Etna broom tree forest, descend along the lava flow channels, passing between lunar landscapes and green dagale, until the end of the lava tour.

Following the basin of a dried torrent, we will cross a forest of Etna pines, from which the landscape will be characterized by the alternation of lava and forests until the return to the starting point.
