Cava della Misericordia - An Open-Air Workshop for Little Explorers

A family-friendly excursion with a creative workshop for children

From the Iblei plateau, numerous canyons (cave), with their flowing streams, converge into the Irminio River. One of the most evocative is the Cava della Misericordia, a place of great natural, historical, and geological value, where the landscape tells the story of the deep bond between humanity and nature.
This special day is designed as a family-friendly excursion, continuing our mission to bring children and parents closer to the world of trekking and the great outdoors.
During the outing, we will launch a new collaboration with artist Elisa Alescio and speech therapist Giulia Rizzo, who will lead an experiential outdoor workshop dedicated to the little ones. Through creative and sensory activities, children will be invited to connect with the natural environment, transforming rocks, bark, and leaves into tools to tell stories about nature and create a personal exploration journal.
After an initial shared hike, we will reach the workshop area where children can take part in the dedicated activities, while adults will have the opportunity to join a short excursion in the surrounding area to fully experience the beauty of the canyon.
