Discover with us the Circeo National Park!
Founded in 1934, Circeo National Park spreads out along the littoral strand comprising Anzio and Terracina and lies only 62 miles from Rome. Through the centuries Circeo was the first Roman colony, and during the Middle Ages, a possession of the Knights Templar, before passing under the control of the feudal lords Caetani and, finally, becoming a Papal stronghold.
We will bike into the Circe Woods (Selva di Circe), one of few of the best-preserved and largest plain forests existing in the country, and where the Park’s fauna – e.g. the wild boar – can be observed, along with the so-called Verdesca natural pool, a relic from the former Pontine Marshes.
Just over and parallel to the coastal dunes lies the lagoon made up of four successive littoral lakes.
Meeting at Trastevere Station at 8 am, private coach bus to Sabaudia (ca. 1,5 hours)
We will get ready for the first hike towards the Natural Park.
After a lunch break (packed lunch will be provided), we will come back and have some free time at the gorgeous beach of San Felice Circeo.
We will then get on the private bus to be back in Rome around 4:30 pm.
Level: Moderately Strenuous hike will generally be challenging for an unconditioned person. The terrain will involve a steady and often steep incline
Basic physical is mandatory for all sport trips and activities.
Minimum Number of Participants Required: 8
