Truffle Hunting

Experience a sensory adventure in the heart of Pollino National Park by participating in a captivating truffle hunt. Accompanied by an expert truffle hunter and his trained dog, you will discover the deep bond between man, animal, and nature. In a game of trust and collaboration, the dog leads you to the precious 'black gold' of Calabria, following paths only he knows. The experience begins at dawn, when the forest awakens under a light mist. The first lights filter through the branches, autumn leaves color the ground, and the silence is broken only by the breath of nature. The enchanted atmosphere heightens the anticipation of the discovery, filled with emotion, hope, and wonder. If the hunt is successful, you will have the chance to savor the freshly harvested truffle, grated over a traditional Brigante egg, cooked on the spot. A simple dish but with extraordinary flavor, enriched by the historical tales of local brigands that add charm and mystery. The activity is suitable for everyone: just bring a pair of hiking shoes, curiosity, and a desire to walk immersed in the scent of moss and dew. Join us to experience an authentic adventure and taste the 'goodness' of Calabria through truffles and their traditions.
