Petriolo baths, warm water and trekking

A blend of art and history awaits you amidst charming villages, nestled in a landscape that features incredible geological phenomena under the shadow of ancient thermal springs (known since Roman times and frequented by ecclesiastical and civil authorities such as Popes and the Medici family).

We will admire the unique historical fortifications of the Petriolo complex before venturing into the untamed Natural Reserve along the Farma River. Here, we will cross the river twice, reaching the breathtaking Orso site and the lesser-known Trampolino and Voltacce, distinguished by spectacular gorges with rocks dating back to the Carboniferous period.

Our journey will take us through the picturesque villages of Solaia and Lesa, where we will immerse ourselves in unique atmospheres far from mass tourism, where time seems to stand still. We will descend through enchanting cork oak forests towards the famous thermal pools: Pozzo dell’Inferno, Conchiglia, Fagiolo, and the quieter Vascone. Here, the water emerges from underground, offering us a spectacular riverside bathing experience.

Fun Facts:

The thermal waters of the Farma, flowing at a temperature of +43 °C, are rich in sulfate, bicarbonate, chloride, and hydrogen sulfide, classifying them as hyperthermal sulfur-rich waters.

The tour will take place on Sunday, April 13, 2025, with departure at 9:00 AM.
