Depart Florence where you’ll meet your professional tour leader. You will board a comfortable coach and relax on the scenic journey to the most beautiful villages and landscapes of Cinque Terre National Park (a world-heritage protected by UNESCO since 1997) which are Manarola, Vernazza and Riomaggiore. You will begin your hike through the Cinque Terre on the hills above Manarola, a picture-postcard village of painted houses leaning one against the other and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. This is a complete experience to Cinque Terre that will allow you to discover the beauty of the villages while breathing the true relaxed essence of this paradise.

You will then begin the descent towards Corniglia, located 100 meters above sea level. Once arrived you will enjoy some free time to relax and refuel by admiring the astonishing coastal panorama from a high vantage point. After a short train ride you will arrive at Vernazza, considered the “Pearl of Cinque Terre.” Enjoy some free time to sit on the tiny harbor and relax, breathing in the atmosphere of this unique area out of time.

Make a final stop in the southernmost village of Riomaggiore where you will be given some free time to look at the boats in the marina, and stroll the colorful streets and admire the pastel-colored buildings.
