Vesuvius walking Tour

Vesuvius is not only one of the few volcanoes still active in Europe, but it is also and above all the symbol of Naples, which is the background to every postcard or image that represents the city.
The great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi called him “exterminator”, that is, an exterminator, alluding to the tragic effects of his 79A.D. eruption, which buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Despite its past and future danger (it is still an active volcano), Vesuvius is a wonder of Nature, which since 1995 has been protected by the “Vesuvius National Park”.
Thanks to its tireless work, Vesuvius has becomean unmissable stop for all those who love trekking or who are fond of biology and geology or who just love the breathtaking nature and scenery.

During the guided tour of the Vesuvius Park you can

• Walk up to the crater, crossing a path along the outer walls of the crater itself; on your right there will bethe black of the volcanic earth while on your left the blue sea of the Gulf of Naples.

• admire the interior of the crater from the very high walls: here mossy lichens and fumaroles create alandscape and an evocative atmosphere. You will feel like you are on the Moon.

• see live and learn thanks to the explanations of the guide the minerals, flora and fauna typical of Vesuvius.

• Discover the signs that the various eruptions have left on the volcano.
