GeoExperience
THE NORTH BRANCH IS NOW OPEN FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER 100 YEARS!
The “North Branch” was an unexplored, never-before-seen extension of the Caves of Castelcivita, now open to the public for the first time in more than a century. Come and see for yourself. With experienced guides and wearing helmets, a limited number will walk through a trap door and go down a 10 metered slope to see an intact area of the cave, just like the first explorers did long ago.
ADVENTUROUS AND ASTONISHING
The “North Branch” is a new way to visit the Caves of Castelcivita. See untouched formations and climb ancient rocks. Follow the path of water that streamed through the caves. Get in touch with a new world and experience beauty in its natural form, on a three-dimensional level. GeoExperience is a unique adventure that you and your group will remember forever.
GEOLOGY AND BEYOND
Two experts in geology and environment will lead each group through the “North Branch”. This new trail offers an opportunity to discover unique speleological and biological views that are typical of an underground world — naturally formed layers of brilliant rock that take your breath away. Discover and learn scientific details in a way that respects life and protects the environment.
