Along the trails, hikers can enjoy breathtaking vistas and visit sites like the shrine of Santa Cova, where the Black Madonna was reportedly found.

What Equipment This Tour Requires:

Participants should wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water, sun protection, and weather-appropriate clothing.

While the trails are well-maintained, the terrain includes uneven surfaces and inclines, so proper footwear is essential.

These simple preparations ensure that the experience remains enjoyable and safe.
