PRIVATE TOUR. Are you ready for a beautiful Hiking Experience in majestic places? Yes, this is one of the Southern Canyons where Mother Nature has given her special touch. This scenarios are spectacular and they will give you unforgettable emotions. Explore with us a “BOOK OF STONE” that will reveal the evolution of this land. We will let you know a deep rift near in front of MATERA CITY that made fall in love many Hollywood’s directors.
You must know that Matera is the Capital of European Culture 2019 and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our guides will show you the historical-natural archaeological park of the Murgia Materana and the Rupestrian Churches, an area that contains some of the most important archaeological sites in Italy, dating back to the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods. You will also see real jewels: the rock churches built in the rock. These territories emerged between the Upper Jurassic and the Cretaceous, due to tectonic movements; this explains the presence of numerous marine fossils in the cave rocks.
Going through the paths of this canyon is like taking a dip in history! The park of the Murgia Materana and of the Rupestrian Churches preserves important archaeological evidence dating back to the prehistoric age of the Palaeolithic and Neolithic, starting from 10.000 years before Christ.
