Day 2: Vesuvius, the great volcano and the buried city of Herculaneum
After breakfast we set off to reach the slopes of Vesuvius, the dormant volcano that dominates the Campanian Plain. Once inside the Vesuvius National Park we climb on foot to the edge of the immense and impressive volcanic crater. Once we have descended from the volcano we reach Ercolano where our archaeological guide awaits us and will enrich the visit to the Ercolano Archaeological Park with interesting information, one of the witnesses of the famous and catastrophic Vesuvian eruption that occurred in 79 AD. In the late afternoon we reach a beautiful village surrounded by the Lattari Mountains which, at 600 m above sea level, dominates the Amalfi Coast and where we will stay for the next few days.

Day 3: The ancient paths of the Lattari Mountains
Today's excursion allows us to travel along a stretch of plateau through a series of ancient paths used since the Middle Ages to connect the villages. We continue along wonderful panoramic stretches and other relaxing ones in the chestnut forest, we skirt peaks and plateaus to finally reach some "stairs" that lead us to the wonderful villages of Scala and Ravello. In the suggestive village of Ravello with the ancient Cathedral and the incredible villas, such as Villa Rufolo considered a pearl that contains centuries of history, works of art and legends of the Republic of Amalfi, we spend some free time and relax to enjoy these atmospheres of other times.

We then take the actual Path of the Gods, the path famous throughout the world for its breathtaking views and the curious mythological tales that these places have inspired. Along the path we admire the rocks of Li Galli from where, it is said, the sirens who tried to confuse Ulysses sang. With a long and spectacular descent, with some stepped sections, we arrive at the small and well-kept seaside village of Positano, where a well-deserved regenerating swim awaits us, an ice cream and, for those who want, a bit of crazy shopping. In the late afternoon our minibus takes us back to our hotel for dinner and an overnight stay. HB
