Italy - Umbria & Le Marche
This phenomenally beautiful yet unsung region is Italy in microcosm: olive groves, vineyards, sun-ripened wheat fields and hills plumed with cypress trees, plus castle-topped medieval hill towns glowing like honey in the fading light of sundown.
- make the spiritual pilgrimage in the footsteps of a peace-seeking saint to Assisi’s Basilica di San Francesco
- gaze at endless acres of spring wildflowers or trek up the snow-capped peaks of Monti Sibillini
- spelunk your way through a forest of stalactites at Grotte di Frasassi, Europe’s largest cave
Coverage includes: Umbria, Perugia, Torgiano, Lago Trasimeno, Todi, Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Spoleto, Norcia, the Valnerina, Orvieto, Le Marche, Ancona, Parco del Conero, Urbino, Pesaro, Grotte di Frasassi, Macerata, Ascoli Piceno, Monti Sibillini and Sarnano.
