From September 17th to 29th a group of 22 Canadian people cycled in Sicily for a total of 1055 Km, discovering the most beautiful corners of the island. The average distance cycled everyday was 100 Km.

 

This second edition of this guided tour began in Catania where the group checked their bikes and got ready for the intense challenge. The first day was an easy one to warm up the legs in order to achieve Rifugio Sapienza at 1851 mt above sea level, September 21st. The group changed accommodation often, stopping at Giardini Naxos, Randazzo, Enna, Modica and Syracuse. The last night was in Catania, before boarding the ferry to Naples.

 

This tour of medium difficulty combines together the challenge and the discovery of cultural and naturalistic places. Also, staying in farm holidays allows to taste the local and typical cuisine made up by products made in Sicily. Though this tour all the group got in touch with Sicilians, our way of life and overall nature. This is the latest proof about how successful an alternative tourism, respectful of the environment, can be.
