This exciting hiking excursion takes place in the Riserva Naturale Orientata Bosco della Ficuzza, a nature reserve just 45 minutes from the port of Palermo that was once the hunting grounds of the Bourbon King Ferdinand IV.
You'll visit the Royal Hunting Lodge, built with the same comforts the king had in his palace in Caserta, near Naples--although not nearly as large! The lodge was built according to the will of Ferdinand IV Bourbon when, after escaping from Palermo during the Naples revolution in 1799, he was looking for ideal places for hunting and entertainment, his favorite hobbies.
As you hike, your experienced guide will point out the multitude of plants and animals in the forest of the king's former hunting grounds. As a reward for all of your hiking, you'll be treated to a delicious lunch of Sicilian appetizer, fresh homemade pasta, meat, salad, fruit, dessert, wine, and water.
• Lunch and your entry ticket into the Nature Reserve are included in the price of this tour.
