Tuscia’s territory is hilly, dotted with valleys, volcanic lakes, rivers, archaeological sites and villages perched atop of cliffs surrounded by an extremely green and unspoiled nature. Due to its richness in terms of natural environment and historical sites reachable by walking paths, the area is the perfect context for archeo-trekking. Following the rock-cut Etruscan ways dating few centuries BC and the ancient routes that lead the pilgrims to Rome since the middle age, you’ll discover amazing and exclusive sites in verdant, unspoilt natural surroundings. Etruscan buried cities, mystic medieval hermitages and mysterious pagan temple are only few examples!
