Highlights

This tour will let you visit the oldest Italian archaeological park, the Naquane Park. This enchanting historical site enhances one of the most important rock complexes with prehistoric and protohistoric engravings of the Camonica Valley (104 large rocks). In 1979 it was the first Italian site on the Unesco list! You will spend about 2 hours and half with your private guide, wandering around. After this thrilling visit, you will move to Bienno. Medieval village and splendid example of a Roman settlement, every year Bienno is a tourist destination for thousands of people: walking through its alleys means taking a step back in time, savoring simple life away from the hustle and bustle of cities and reliving the atmosphere of ancient crafts. A stop for lunch is included during the day. ( at your own expense )

Itinerary

  • Val Camonica(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Valcamonica creeps between the Adamello Group and the eastern Orobie Alps, with 120 thousand inhabitants spread along the nearly 100 kilometers of the valley, from the Tonale Pass to the north, to Pisogne, on the Iseo lake to the south. Inhabited for over 10,000 years, as evidenced by the highest concentration of rock engravings in Europe, it is rich in works of art from all eras with numerous churches, castles, ancient villages and stately palaces witnessing an era in which, thanks to trade and production for the Venetian Republic, this valley was flourishing and rich.
  • Parco Nazionale delle Incisioni Rupestri

    3 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    The signs and representations that for thousands of years have been engraved on the rocks of Valcamonica by the Camunni and their ancestors, constitute the immense cultural treasure that UNESCO has declared, since the seventies, a World Heritage Site: the first Italy. The inhabitants of the valley, with domestic affection, have always called "pitoti" (puppets) the figures left in view. It is the most important complex of rock carvings ever found in the world in terms of quantity of figures and temporal continuity. The 300,000 enigmatic images scattered along the valley depict weapons and warriors, hunting scenes, religious rites, new inventions and technologies (such as the chariot and metal forging), symbols and abstractions. They tell in a great stone book the evolution of European society and mentality in the pre and protohistoric ages. Naquane National Park, is one of the most historical intersting areas, richest in rocks and rock carvings. ( 2,5 to 3 hours guided tour )
