About this experience
Who said that trekking is only possible in the midst of nature? Here is an alternative for you! Explore the historic center of Cammarata along its narrow and steep streets between ancient houses placed one above the other, thus looking like a real urban jungle. Accompanied by our staff, we will spend time in the Arab quarter among medieval streets that evoke the fascinating feeling of being catapulted into past times. Afterwards, visit to the Mother Church of San Giovanni Gemini, which houses the black Christ "Jesus Nazaré", where a fascinating story will be revealed. Continue to Santo Stefano to visit the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, a mystical and very fascinating place in the heart of the forest, where you will be told the life of the Virgin, Patroness of Palermo. The hermitage includes the "cave", the church, the crypt and the monastery as well as the cells, the kitchen and the refectory. A nice culinary surprise awaits us, let us surprise you!
