Stone Wombs – The Deep Belly of Mother Earth

Caves and Speleological Complexes of Cilento

Some places have served as the cradle of humanity: Cilento is one of them.

Inhabited since the Palaeolithic era, this magnificent National Park is also a speleological paradise.

Here, one can witness natural wonders of absolute value. As is always the case in Cilento, a "Living Landscape," the wildest and most majestic Nature intertwines with the hand of Man—even within the bowels of the Earth.

This travel itinerary is one of the most fascinating paths through the Park's territory, specifically due to the uniqueness of the environments it crosses: it is home to some of the most important speleological complexes in Europe. You don’t need to be a caver to enjoy them: the routes are accessible to everyone, and expert guides turn the visits into a delightful journey of discovery.

Some of these caves are famous among the general public, while others are known only to a few: scholars, academics, and universities. What is certain is that the Earth’s belly is just like the rest of this land: unforgettable.

The package offers a seamless blend of overnight stays in your preferred accommodation—ranging from cozy B&Bs and charming country houses to prestigious historical residences and hotels—alongside curated lunches and dinners, expert-led guided tours of the featured sites, and the comfort of private transfers.
