With return transfer from Matera’s city centre included, this experience offers a seamless journey into one of Italy’s most extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Follow your expert guide across the breathtaking highlands of the Murgia Materana, where dramatic cliffs and rolling hills give way to a hidden world of rock-carved churches and cave dwellings.

As you walk along scenic trails, learn the stories of the hermits, monks, and early settlers who once made this wild and beautiful place their home. Surrounded by nature, silence, and history, the park offers a unique blend of cultural immersion and peaceful exploration.

Your tour concludes at the stunning Belvedere viewpoint, where you'll take in a panoramic sunset view over Matera’s iconic Sassi districts, glowing in warm, golden light—an unforgettable sight and perfect photo opportunity.
