An unforgettable excursion on Etna!
The lava cave of highest active volcano in Europe, a tasting of typical etna produce, ancient craters and recent lava flows.

Tour starts from Catania including an itinerary to discover landscapes within the Etna vulcano.

Place of this adventure is  the Tre livelli cave (Three Levels Cave) . The cave owes its name  because in its initial part, above the main gallery, there are two other parallel small secondary ducts .

We will visit is the so-called downstream part, about 300m long. The width and height of this portion is of comfortable progression;  only about sixty meters from the entrance, the visitor is forced to crawl for a couple of meters on clinkers. However, this effort is soon repaid by the majestic show that the environment offers: tunnels with stalactites, stripes on the side, etc .

During this tour  on Etna you will be accompanied constantly by speleo- canyoning guides  who will tell you the mysterious volcanic phenomena of Etna.
