TREK: Alla scoperta dei Calanchi di Montalbano (Mt)

Defined by top experts as "a true open-air paleontological museum," rich in fossils, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5, THE CALANCHI RESERVE OF MONTALBANO JONICO (Mt) will be the destination of a journey through time to discover fascinating geological and paleontological landscapes. The calanques are clay mountains created over time by the erosive force of the elements along the sides of a mountain or hill, forming unique shapes with pinnacles and spires. The result is a true geomorphological work of art by nature that sometimes extends into dense, rugged, and three-dimensional branches. This area, with its deep and characteristic incisions, often holds and reveals fossil finds of great scientific value, making it a UNIQUE SITE IN THE WORLD for its geological and paleontological features and notable landscape, environmental, archaeological, and cultural prestige. Additionally, I remind you that our guide is an expert geologist!
