Trek on the Amalfi Coast

This 9-day challenge takes place in a region celebrated for its beauty and history. On an azure natural canvas, the Neapolitan Archipelago, which is comprised of a group of five islands, offers an unmatched spectacle of beauty for the eyes. As you arrive in Naples, you will fall under the spell of an immortal city where many vistas offer wondrous views of Mount Vesuvius, one of the high points on your itinerary. Then, move on to Capri, one of the better-known islands of the archipelago. You will also have the opportunity to visit Amalfi and Positano among others, two fishing villages high in colour, seated on hillsides offering memorable scenic views. Neapolitans love to say that the beauty of their region is so unique that after seeing it, your memory of it will last forever. A challenge filled with beauty and history awaits you.
