Overview

**A Day of Nature and Emotions in Civita** An immersive experience among history, nature, and raptors in the heart of Pollino! We offer you an exclusive journey, designed like a menu to savor: * *Appetizer*: the legends and traditions of the Arbereshe people, among the “talking houses” of Civita. * *First Course*: suspended emotions on the evocative Devil's Bridge. * *Second Course*: birdwatching at the Griffon’s Carnary. * *Sorbet*: a farmer's picnic with the authentic flavors of Pollino. * *Dessert*: a close encounter with raptors, true “modern dinosaurs.” * *Digestif*: the return home, with your soul filled with emotions. Guided by Roberto and Pietro, you will discover Civita, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, through orally transmitted stories and breathtaking landscapes. The afternoon is dedicated to the Environmental Education Natural Center, home to the Falconers of Setteventi, where raptors are the absolute stars. You won’t find shows or caged animals, but you will get to know the art of falconry up close, a UNESCO Heritage. Suitable for everyone, just wear comfortable clothing and bring a lot of desire to be amazed. The encounter with Abel, a majestic raptor just a few centimeters away from you, will be the most intense moment of a day that will leave you breathless. Book now: a journey you won’t forget!
