Hiking in the Murgia Park between nature and history

Immerse yourself in the wild nature of the Murgia Park, in Matera, among nature trails and testimonies of the most ancient history of Basilicata. Walk among breathtaking landscapes, rock ravines and canyons, admiring the infinite botanical varieties, rare species and fauna that populate these areas. Discover evidence of ancient periods among the rocks, including Paleolithic caves and the remains of Neolithic villages, dug into the tuff. Observe the fortified farms - which still retain the ancient drinking troughs for the flocks - and the rock churches dug into the rock by medieval monks, occasionally transformed into homes or pens for animals. Visiting Matera does not only mean getting lost walking through the streets of the Sassi district, but also experiencing a journey through time, in an enchanted nature.
