Itinerary

1
Sassi di Matera
1h
Waking up just before dawn, in summer, allows you to visit the Murgia Materana Park in the coolest hours and with the most beautiful light to take photographs. On the other side of the Canyon of the Torrente Gravina you can see the entire view of the Sassi and you can understand the historical and natural context in which they are set. From the starting point of the walk we will walk along the edge of the Gravina and then arrive at the first viewpoint just before sunrise and admire the city as it lights up with golden light. It continues among churches, caves, racking and dry stone walls, with views that change at every turn and a tale about nature, science, history and traditions. Once you reach the top of the Belvedere plateau, you have a packed breakfast and go down on foot into the Canyon reaching the Sassi on foot.
2
Parco delle Chiese Rupestri di Matera
2h
During the walk you can visit one to 4 rock churches, according to the wishes of travelers.
