Trekking, history and flavors of Basilicata
More than three hours exploring nature and archaeology up to the Saracen Village, with a tasting at a masseria of olive oil, cheeses, Matera IGP bread, and Lucanian wines.
An exclusive trek, far from the tourist trails: the Lucarioborgo carved into the rock and a fortified farmhouse where the flavors of Basilicata tell the story of the same land.
From the path to the farmhouse
A journey that intertwines nature, archaeology, and taste: from a walk in the park to the rock village, and finally to rustic hospitality.
Who walked with us
With Francesco, an archaeologist, the park tour was the perfect way to round off the day: interesting details and attentive guidance through the pitfalls of the Murgia.
So much information, concepts explained clearly with examples. And how magical it was to watch the darkness fall and Matera light up!
Well-prepared guides who are friendly and passionate about their work. Clear, insightful, and in-depth explanations.
Two fantastic and unique experiences in a single day. Impeccable organization and guides who convey their passion.
