Trekking in Capo Vaticano between nature and tradition

Guided excursion with donkeys and typical lunch to discover the most authentic Calabria

Let yourself be enchanted by the views, scents and colours of Capo Vaticano, a precious gem of the Calabrian countryside, discovering an ancient world, linked to traditions and flavours that have never been lost. Led by the pace of the mill donkeys, venture on a trek through woods rich in vegetation. Walk along the paths of the Fiumara della Ruffa nature reserve, listening to the stories of an expert guide about the history and botany of the place. Continue by exploring a World War II refuge, then a mill dating back to the early 1800s. Finally, recharge your batteries by tasting the “murzeddu”, a typical peasant meal transported in the past by donkeys in “friccine”, traditional saddlebags, accompanied by local wine. A leap back in time to immerse yourself in the beauty of uncontaminated nature.
