Still visible along the rocky expanse of the Iblea Valley are traces of human settlement that date to the Palaeolithic era. Among the most impressive is the Necropolis of Pantalica where in the 9th and 10th centuries BC, inhabitants would bury their dead in tombs carved into the cliffside, which are still visible today. Spend a day learning about this region’s fascinating history alongside an experienced guide while soaking up the untamed vistas and unspoilt beauty of the Pantalica Nature Reserve, home to the Cassibile river and the Cavagrande del Cassibile, a natural reservoir within the nature reserve where hikers can refresh after a long day on the trail.
