Mount Etna and the little volcano of Mojo Day Excursion
Mount Etna Tour – from the peak to Mongibello
At the beginning of this Mount Etna Tour, we will move towards the lava flow of 1991 to take some impressive pictures.
Afterwards, we will continue to the southern-east side. Then, we will start our ascent to the “Mongibello” – the local name of the volcano. Indeed, the name means “the beautiful mountain”.

Mount Etna Tour- Piano Provenzana
We will pass through the floods of solid lava, burnt trees, and unique volcanic landscapes up to our arrival at the northern side of the volcano – Piano Provenzana, at the altitude of 1,881 m above sea level.

Mount Etna Tour – the last eruption in 2002
Unfortunately, the entire area was destroyed during the last eruption in 2002. For this reason, the towns are still in the process of restructuring.

Etna – Central Crater
Next, we will enjoy the view of the Central Crater.
In order to take some pictures, we will take a little stroll around the unspoiled nature of this region.

Etna – the descent from the Northern side
To start with the descent from the northern side, we will reach the road. This overlooks the lava-stone villages of Linguaglossa, Rovittello, Solicchiata and Passopisciaro.

Lunch – Mojo Alcantara
Afterwards, we will have lunch at a chosen restaurant.
Next, we continue driving towards the town of Mojo Alcantara to meet a small volcano on 800 m above sea level. Actually, the Mojo was born before Etna, about 600 000 years ago. Also, it is considered as a creator of the famous Alcantara Gorges.
With the same eruption, lava came to the nowadays town of Giardini Naxos. Eventually, we will make our last photo stop on the panoramic terraces above the Alcantara Gorges.
