WHY THIS HIKE
The waterfalls and porcini festival of Sant'Annapelago
Autumn in the Apennines is pure magic: the woods turn red, yellow, and orange, the air becomes crisp, and festivals enliven the villages with irresistible aromas. Why choose between a walk and a village festival when we can do both? 💡

The experience
We're taking you to the Sant’Anna Pelago Waterfalls, a hidden place where the water dances among rocks and moss, creating enchanting plays of light and sound. A simple and evocative excursion that will culminate with participation in a typical autumn festival, to taste local dishes and experience the authentic atmosphere of the Apennines.
An experience for true Guidders: nature, discovery, and conviviality, all in one day!

Five Waterfalls Loop Trek
"We'll continue along the well-known trail, lovingly restored by local volunteers, and its majestic five waterfalls. We'll admire the power and beauty of the Cascades in their almost 'autumnal' guise, a time when the crowds have thinned, giving way to tranquility, for a truly immersive and rejuvenating nature experience."
