Relax in close contact with nature
To immerse oneself in the tranquillity of endless green expanses, to surprise a goat at the edge of a wood, to listen to the sound of a waterfall or follow the flight of a butterfly. Nature after all is the perfect companion which permits us to spend our holidays far from the chaos of the city, surrounded by simplicity and relaxation. In order to experience nature, it is enough to follow those untrodden, perhaps forgotten, paths which are found in the parks and natural reserves all over Italy, to cross breathtaking scenery which contains an entire world waiting to be discovered over and above the usual delights Italy has to offer: beautiful city centres, genuine food, unusual cultural activities and living traditions.
For the adventurer the natural parks represent the opportunity to discover abandoned places or territories, thus transforming them into instruments for the cultural, economic and social recovery and development of areas neglected down the centuries. It is exactly here that we can recover an authentic relationship with nature and observe the inhabitants of these incredible ecosystems. In Italy, the Indiana Jones adventurer can choose from 24 national parks, 23 marine parks and more than 700 reserves and regional parks, unique and magnificent places where nature manifests itself both as an open book and a playmate.
