Hiking
Getting there is very demanding, with 1,000 steep meters of altitude to overcome from San Carlo.
Once you arrive at the top, it feels like looking into (mountain) paradise. The plain is absolutely flat, small fish swim in the various riverbeds, butterflies flutter in front of your nose, and there is a peace and idyll that is truly magical. An absolute dream.
