Tuscany is also a land of wild nature, thanking to the strong environmental protection policies the territory has several natural protected areas allowing the discovery of wild animals, woods, lakes and rivers in a very good condition. Walking on the mountains paths, loosing your way in the countryside, howling at the moon as wolves, meeting with boars, bird-watching rare species are just samples of the experiences you can have in Tuscany.
Challenging experiences, situations in which people can get back to themselves, to their roots, forgetting mobile telephones and pc for a while, getting together with the other people sharing the experience. And keep this green Tuscany dream in their heart to save energy and pure air for the daily life! This is just a first proposal. In the green heart of Tuscany, in the heart of Italy. We are between Florence and Arezzo, leaving their art city centers, getting into the wild.
Tour Itinerary:
* Option 1:
Day 1: Arrival and welcome meeting. Typical dinner. Walking under full moon.
Day 2: From the light green of beech wood, to the yellow meadows of the edges, colored by violets, crocus and orchids; reaching the main ridge to have a look on Apennines chain and Arno river valleys. About 3 hours of actual walking + breaks, easy path, low-medium training. Dinner. Night session: sounds of Nature.
Day 3: In the "Casentinesi" Forests: The wild and old Lama forest and its spectacular surroundings: through secular beech and fir, following the water ways to the sea-side. About 3-4 hours of actual walking + breaks, easy path, medium training. Dinner and rest!
Day 4: Arezzo and its beautiful old centre on S.Domenico hill: we'll visit the old "Pieve", Cimabue' Christ on wood-panel and Piero della Francesca frescos, the "Vasari" lodge and "Piazza Grande" square, where the antiquity market takes place every first weekend of the month.
* Option 2:
Day 1: Arrival, accommodation in a farmhouse and meeting. Dinner: Casentinesi typical meals. Walking under full moon, listening to forest melodies: owls, night jails and, if we're lucky, wolf howling.
Day 2: From "Madonna di Montalto" church to Arno's spring: following wolves and red deer paths, crossing old chestnut wood and the wild Oia beech forest, we'll reach the spring of the Florence river, Arno, close to an ancient Etruscan holy site.
Day 3: Early wake-up, to reach Mount "Penna", where eagles flies, for enjoying sunrise on the Ridracoli Lake and the lunar landscape of Romagna hills. Then we'll go down into the hearth of the "Lama" Preserve, an ancient and wild forest, to reach Lama waterfowl.
Dinner and rest after a very demanding day.
Day 4: In "Pratomagno": from the light green of the beech forest to the yellow of edge meadows coloured violet, pink and blue by blooming flower, we'll reach the main ridge to admire Apennine chain and Arno river valleys.
