What could be more incredible than exploring the stunning and unique landscape of the Etna volcano at sunset? Indulge in a half-day excursion and immerse yourself in nature, surrounded by both lunar and green scenery. Here’s what to expect.

Experience the fascinating craters and lunar landscapes of Etna Etna is a truly captivating volcano. Along with the volcanic complex of Stromboli, it is the only volcano in Catania with constant eruptions, separated by brief intervals. Taking a sunset excursion to discover Etna’s slopes while observing the craters and volcanic bombs from the past century is an unforgettable experience sought after by many.

Etna and sunset: the best places to visit Of course, some places are more worthy of attention than others. During a sunset excursion, it is highly recommended to visit the Valle del Bove, a caldera dating back 64,000 years, whose spectacle reveals the consequences of the collapse of the eruptive centers.

Lava flows

The lava flows of the last 500 years can be easily seen by passing through the trazzere, including some particularly stunning sites, such as those of the eruptions of 1991 and 1993, and that of 1892.

At around 2000 meters above sea level, the magnificent and evocative Silvestri craters appear, providing panoramic views of Catania, accompanied by lava flows from this century.

The tour concludes with a guided tour, which is the only way to gain access to the caves, including the splendid Cassone cave, which is perfectly safe for hikers. A helmet and torch are necessary to enter the heart of the volcano.
