Beautiful canoe experience on the Tirino river, one of the cleanest rivers in Italy with incredible colors, accompanied by very good guides who explained the origin of the river, the fauna and flora that populate it. Awesome

I would need a book to describe this mountain, i can just say, go, rent a car or a bike and get lost within the hills, the valleys, the small towns (go to Pretoro), the little trattoria's, the vineyards and the local culture always friendly and welcoming.
