From the gentle hills of Matera to the
forests of the Pollino and Gallipoli Cognato Parks, Basilicata
is a walker’s and nature-lover’s paradise.
Between the extraordinary mountains populated with wolves
and ancient trees, the rushing rivers where otters live
and the white birch forests and volcanic lakes, you will
be able to walk and discover silent medieval villages and
ancient rural structures, and you’ll find a corner
of Italy filled with discovery.
Our itineraries have been tried and true by ten years of
experience; born out of a passion for this region which
is still virgin and ready for discovery. We suggest only
some among dozens of routes that can be personalized for
duration and level of difficulty.
These are the itineraries
we suggest which may be personalized upon request:
BASILICATA
ON FOOT 
[ Cod. 21 IT ]
A trek in Basilicata will surprise you
for the variety of the landscapes through which you will
pass. From the unusual excursions along rupestrian villages
and upon the Matera Moors, to the peaks of the Pollino,
you’ll pass through the prairies and forests of the
Gallipoli Cognato Park.
Your walk will begin with a visit to the city of Matera;
then move along the Rock Church Park, rich in ravines and
marked by the signs of Mediterranean history and nature;
then on to discover prehistoric caves, Neolithic villages
and rupestrian houses and frescoed churches. Afterwards
we will move on towards the south through Lamaquacchiolan
and Saracen rupestrian villages. We will then proceed towards
Accettura, through the Gallipoli Cognato Park, with its
magnificent grassy plateaus from which one can admire the
savage walls of the Lucano Dolomites, with the small towns
of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano set amongst them.
You’ll follow gradual and panoramic trails, allowing
you to better enjoy this splendid natural environment.
The next day you will reach the Pollino. This massif is
surrounded by valleys painted with streams running down
them and rocky mountains that jealously preserve the best
examples of the rare Loricato Pine. The last stop will
bring you to the Tyrrhenian coast and the dominating panoramic
views from Maratea.
Uncontaminated nature, intense light and panoramas will
leave you with enchanting memories of this exploration
of Basilicata on foot.
