Discovering

Sicily Trek

Our Guides

Peppe Messina

"I have always been fascinated by my land from all points of view, I feel viscerally linked to it by very deep roots. Curious by nature, I love the conviviality and genuineness of the hiking environment. I am a great lover of the history of my land and its natural wonders. The history of Sicily is my great passion, with the various dominations and different cultures that once even coexisted peacefully here, seem to me an example of civilization for the present and for the future. Contact with Nature is an attitude that man, evolving, has slowly forgotten, even more so in the modern era and I am convinced that by rediscovering it, together with the history of our territory, we can fight against the ignorance and superficiality that today surround issues such as the environment and ecology. Knowing and making known the naturalistic and historical wonders of Sicily is my and our mission, which bears the name of SICILY TREK"

"I love being in Nature both alone and in company, and I appreciate its strength, vitality, colors and its wonderful tranquility that can transport you far away if you let yourself go. I believe that the desire to make others participate in this very particular universe is the main engine that moves a guide. Being able to make people understand the spectacular peculiarities of nature, the relationships between man and the territory and make people excited in front of a simple natural expression, I believe is what can most repay and satisfy us in our work. Passionate about herbs, flowers and medicinal plants, I aim to make the hiker move in full connection with the environment without having to give up the fun aspects of outdoor life. I have always tried to recover that ancient and real contact with the territory, making our excursions authentic real experiences, instead of mere expressions of tourist consumption"

Santi Poeta

"I am a great fan of what many call the most beautiful volcano in the world and its eruptive phenomena. Through our excursions through breathtaking views and new paths, I try to convey my passion by telling the fascinating stories for which our volcano is famous. I believe that there is nothing more beautiful than sharing with others what you love, so it is for years that I have been committed to accompanying groups around the volcano making the eyes grasp every single nuance of this special land that is Sicily and Etna in particular. I hope to be able to make our hikers feel those moments of happiness and amazement that cannot be described in words, but that will remain as indelible memories of their wonderful experiences with us"
