Itinerary

Manarola

Visit to the village, walk along the central road to the port and Punta Bonfiglio, with introduction to the Cinque Terre National Park; history, culture and traditions of these ancient villages, strategic destination of Roman domination, of the Genoese republic and of pirate raids. Guided observation of the territory characterized by sedimentary rocks overlooking the sea subject to marine erosion and landslides. Discovery of the Mediterranean scrub and the adaptations of coastal plants to the salty climate and summer heat.

1 hour
Volastra

Climb to Volastra to discover the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1997 for the virtuous integration of the human landscape with the nature of this enchanting but extremely fragile place. The Cinque Terre have in fact been cultivated since ancient times with the construction of terraces supported by the famous "dry stone walls" which have preserved the integrity of the territory up to the present day from the risk of frequent landslides of the sedimentary rock subjected to marine erosion. In Volastra, a break in the shade awaits us with a snack of pesto, focaccia and white wine which will offer us the opportunity to delve into the local culinary traditions and the history of Cinque Terre wine production.

2 hours
Corniglia

The excursion continues between terraces and Mediterranean scrub, passing through wetlands and holm oak forests, with an incomparable view of the entire marine area of the Cinque Terre and the small villages hidden among the rocks. In Corniglia a panoramic terrace awaits us that embraces the entire day.

2 hours
Vernazza

We will be able to reach Vernazza on foot or by train depending on the strength left available. Visit to the village hidden in the only natural inlet of the Cinque Terre. Here we will end our journey through botany, geology, traditions and history of this land rich in culture and rare beauty.

Montidamare is incredible. Full Stop.

Published on Sep, 2024

To say that this was an incredible experience would be an understatement. For our 30th Wedding Anniversary, we were looking forward to Cinque Terre but were unsure of how best to experience this exquisite area of the world. Sonia was not only full of incredible information about the history, but was also incredibly knowledgeable about the native and non-native plants, economic history, and many other topics. The education my wife and I received was more than we could ask for, and the sites were nothing short of spectacular. Not only did Sonia do a wonderful job of sharing her knowledge, she was also so relatable as she has had a corporate life and now has pivoted to embrace her passion around the environment by providing this experience to others. I would strongly recommend anyone who would like an engaging and fun tour to find Sonia!
