Discover the fascinating geology of the Madonie Natural Park

This natural caves hike in the Madonie Mountains allows guests to explore a very interesting geological area where the limestone shelters natural caves as well as fossils of corals and other forms of life that populated the sea million years ago.

With the help of your expert local guide, you will learn things you’d never find in the guide books, see things you’d never discover on your own. The itinerary includes two caves that are easily accessible and a pit cave (we will remain on the edge, behind the security fence). It offers beautiful panoramic views over the lower part of the Madonie Mountains, Castelbuono, and the Thyrrenian coast.

If you’d like to look around for the best experience for you, consider the rest of our Tours and Excursions in the Madonie.
