Prima Tappa Durante la nostra passeggiata in fuoristrada, ammireremo colate laviche antiche ed altre più recenti, accompagnati dal racconto delle eruzioni che le hanno generate. Seconda Tappa Ripreso il cammino a bordo dei nostri mezzi, ci recheremo presso una delle centinaia di grotte di svuotamento lavico per poi scendere al suo interno, usufruendo dell’attrezzatura che vi forniremo (caschi e torce). Qualora le condizioni meteo, l’eccesso di neve e/o ghiaccio all'ingresso rendessero pericolosa la discesa nella grotta, sarà premura della nostra guida individuare un itinerario alternativo. A seguire faremo una sosta per rifocillarci.​ Terza Tappa Ci sposteremo infine per raggiungere una bottoniera di crateri estinti davvero suggestiva dove faremo un trekking medio-facile caratterizzato da una panorama mozzafiato. (La partecipazione alla passeggiata è oggetto di valutazione da parte della nostra guida sulla base del livello di preparazione e sulle capacità dei partecipanti). Rientro al meeting point Cambi di itinerario In presenza di condizioni meteorologiche avverse, cause di forza maggiore o qualora la guida lo ritenesse opportuno, potrebbero risultare necessarie delle variazioni rispetto all'itinerario pattuito.
