Petriolo baths, warm water and trekking
Discovering the wild Val di Farma
This tour is a concentration of art, nature and history. We will walk through characteristic villages and ancient thermal springs known since Roman times and frequented by ecclesiastical and civil authorities such as Popes and Doctors.
The thermal waters flow from a stretch of the Farma at a temperature of +43 °C, they have a high concentration of sulphate, bicarbonate, chloride and hydrogen sulphide, elements which classify them as hyperthermal sulphide. We will admire the particular historical fortifications of the spa complex as well as the enchanting views as we walk along the Farma river to reach the characteristic villages of Solaia and Lesa. We will taste the atmosphere of places far from the patterns of mass tourism, where time seems to have stopped.
We will walk inside the Farma Nature Reserve to arrive in the early afternoon at famous spas such as the Pozzo dell'Inferno, the Conchiglia, the Fagiolo and the milder Vascone where the water flows from the ground, for a spectacular bath on the river bank!
The tour will take place on Monday 01 April 2024, departure at 9:00
