Full description
"Look there, Idda! "
That's what they call Etna in Novara di Sicilia, and you can admire it during this quad bike tour. Together with a guide, you will whizz along a route dotted with the imposing wind turb ines, the centuries-old trees of the Malabotta Forest and the striking megaliths sculpted by the wind.
A 5-hour "journey" to discover the Argimusco Plateau!
What we will do
The appointment is 30 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Novara di Sicilia (ME), for a briefing with our guide. After getting into our vehicles, we will set off in the direction of San Basilio, a characteristic hamlet of Novara di Sicilia, along the Fontane Rosse road.
From here we will reach the Pale Eoliche Park, where the gigantic turbines will guard us along the way. We will then continue along the Faggita path to enter the suggestive Malabotta Forest, one of the oldest and most mysterious woodland areas in Sicily.
After exploring the forest, we will take the Sentiero dei Patriarchi (Path of the Patriarchs ) and walk to a belvedere from which we can enjoy a spectacular view of Etna, known locally as "Idda" or "Mungibellu", admiring its imposing profile.
Our journey will continue towards the Argimusco Megaliths, fascinating rock formations with enigmatic shapes that have given rise to fascinating legends and theories. We will make a brief stop to explore them up close and discover their secrets.
From here we will take the state road back to our starting point. The experience will last about 5 ½ hours in total.
