We are heading back to the Parco Nazionale del Pollino for a fun-filled itinerary and an intense adventure that combines trekking, rafting, and canyoning. This experience is designed for those who want to challenge themselves and experience the mountains in a different way, blending adrenaline with breathtaking landscapes. Our hikes will take us through pristine natural environments, with views stretching from the Tyrrhenian to the Ionian Sea, amidst ancient forests and imposing rock faces, where the iconic Pini Loricati (Bosnian pines), the symbol of the Park, stand tall. The stay includes 3 nights in a property nestled in the greenery of the Pollino and 1 night in an equipped tent camp, with facilities, along the banks of the Fiume Lao. The program features canyoning on the Fiume “La Vrisa” and rafting on the Fiume Lao, in the heart of the Lucanian land: an engaging and fun way to immerse yourself in nature.
