Join an unforgettable experience among the wonders of Volterra and its surroundings. This exclusive trek will take you to the heart of the historic center and the breathtaking countryside that surrounds it, on a journey that intertwines distant epochs and unique landscapes.

We will encounter the ‘theater that wasn’t there,’ an imposing Roman amphitheater rediscovered only recently, almost by chance, but now stands as a majestic testament to Roman Volterra. From there, we will proceed to the fascinating Etruscan tombs, descending into the depths of ancient sepulchers that tell stories from over 2,000 years ago. Emerging back into the light, we will continue toward lush valleys, crossing the remains of ancient mills and small villages rich in history, until we reach a viewpoint over the haunting “Balze”, a spectacular and unique natural phenomenon. These are high sandstone cliffs, formed by millennia of erosion, that drop steeply into the valleys, creating striking panoramas and an unparalleled aura of mystery.

With glimpses ranging from the details of ancient life to vast landscapes that seem to touch infinity, this trek is a celebration of the deep roots and eternal charm of Volterra. Are you ready for a breathtaking journey?
