Group nature trip “In spring on Elba”
A trip into nature in spring on islands of Elba and Pianosa allows you to explore the typical floral and faunal beauties of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, where it is possible to admire breathtaking natural landscapes and observe birds, cetaceans and mammals. Spring is in fact an exceptional period: the Mediterranean maquis is in full bloom and migratory birds soar in the sky.
Naturalistic excursions are always carried out with Environmental Excursion Guides and/or sector experts.
The first day is scheduled for a short walk, with observation of nature, along the coast of Elba overlooking Corsica. On the second, third and fourth day there will be real biowatching excursions, in Pianosa, and then in the western area of Monte Perone and in the eastern area of the island.
The history of the territory and the footprint left by Napoleon during his exile will also be told.
The participation fee per person in a double room is €395. Participants arrive at the starting point of the event in Colle d’Orano, a locality that is about 6 kilometers from the town of Marciana, by their own means.
The journey and the itineraries are carried out in groups; the minimum number of participants is ten adults, while the maximum number is twenty people. The group will be confirmed when the minimum number is reached. Further information can be found at the web address natour-biowatching.com.
