Full description
To catapult yourself into the past and feel as if you were in the Old West, take a horseback ride to Linguaglossa, through the countryside of this part of Sicily.
During theone-and-a-half-hour excursion, you will discover unmissable naturalistic glimpses and become familiar with a tame and intelligent horse, thanks also to the advice of the guide who will accompany you.
Amidst olive groves, mountainous stretches and wild torrents, the horse riding adventure is served!
What we will do
The appointment is in Linguaglossa, in the province of Catania.
Once we arrive, we will be welcomed by the equestrian guide, who will explain the route we are going to take, how to get on horseback, and how to stay in the saddle along the entire route.
After the briefing, we will venture on horseback along a dirt and then asphalted path to the Oliva stream bed. We will follow the course of the torrent on horseback and proceed at pace for 6-7 km through the Linguaglossa countryside, in a landscape characterised by olive groves and cultivated fields, not far from Etna Park.
We will also have the opportunity to see an ancient palmento used for traditional wine production, before heading back the same way we came.
The activity will last an hour and a half in all.
