Highlights
- Ustica - We will walk along the paths of the wood to discover the rich flora and fauna of the Usticese land reserve. The Oriented Nature Reserve includes the two central hills of the island. The itinerary winds through a cobbled mule track almost totally in the plain with a length of 1.8 km to be covered also on the return. You will have a close relationship with the flora and we will see how we can communicate with it and the benefits we derive from it by being in contact with it. We will meet a tuff quarry used to build several houses in Ustica. To end with the wonderful sunset (not surprisingly, this path is called “sunset”). There will be anecdotes and fun miniquizzes!

Nature walk in Ustica - Beautiful experience, suitable for families but also independent travelers as was my case. Ustica is a black pearl for its black rocks of volcanic origin but also very green with its native vegetation that Vincenzo guides it, knows how to describe very well, immersing the description in curious and captivating stories, the introduction of invasive species is also narrated and pervasive and during the route which winds through a beautiful forest, some stops allow you to recognize the various plants and in some cases animals described through the interesting stories told by Vincenzo. During the route the story of the people who live and have lived in Ustica is also told and the journey ends by re-emerging from the woods in time to enjoy the light of the sunset over the sea.
