Author: Hotel carlo magno ischia

Region: Campania

The GEO-Trips are designed to acquaint the tourist landscapes and unspoilt island of Ischia. You will have the opportunity to discover interesting places and understand the historical evolution / geology of the island, the thermal waters and mud volcanoes in Ischia is rich. All accompanied by geologist Dr. Aniello Di Iorio, born in Ischia and with international experience.

The Island of Ischia is positioned on a clod of earth's crust from which it draws its peculiarity thanks to the immense forces acting from underground. For those who participate in the GEO-trips will realize the nature of these forces and will be able to understand and assess the importance of these foze that are carried throughout the island.
The walks are divided as follows:
TREKKING
Geo-trekking in the mountains: A walk through shady paths through woods of chestnut and acacia, going in search of the medieval village built in the mountains, to protect against invasions of the pirates. You can also see the houses built with the unique technique, digging into the stone of green tuff Epomeo, not forgetting the highly efficient method for collecting and storing rainwater in cisterns cut into the rock.
It is recommended for this excursion, the use of comfortable shoes suitable for unpaved roads, is planned for the lunch stop at a typical mountain restaurant set in a boulder tuff with breathtaking shores of the island of Ischia.

Geo-trekking for 3 craters: A walk through the three main craters of the island. It starts from the port of Ischia Porto, which has a circular shape as volcanic crater, signs of volcanic activity today are the many thermal springs scattered in the port area, the port will continue for the volcano Montagnone males, which dominates the port of Ischia, reached the summit of the volcano which rises in the crater, where the maquis consists of lush plants and pine trees took possession. Then proceed to the volcano Fund Ferraro. Also here we descend into the mouth of the volcano reaching the center of the crater itself, after a brief stop here we proceed to the mouth of the crater of the volcano Ars. This is a lava flow that reaches the sea, you will find the mouth of the crater fumaroles and the crest of the lava. A small restaurant / bar built in the crater itself waits for you to feed him.

AUTOTUR
Geo-tour to the volcanoes: The island of Ischia has its wealth of hot springs to its location and the geological fault lines, volcanoes, fumaroles, along with rainwater creating a cocktail from which flow the miraculous thermal waters of Ischia. If there is interest in understanding how to form the thermal water, because there are fumaroles (gas leaving the hot magma chamber), what are the skunks (cold gas), ecc.non be missed this hike.
The tour includes a walk of about 20 minutes into the mouth of a volcanic crater, also you have the ability to touch the fumaroles and skunks, all ending with a stop over the landscaped area of Ischia, where the breathtaking view on the will dominate the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius.

Geological excursions in minibus: a hike where you are taken to the hotel. One goes to see a spa. Having seen this traditional spa and you tell me how to soak the mud, the different types of thermal water, etc.. The plant itself is seen as the thermal water and 75 ° C can go directly to the surface from the deeper parts of the crust. Then you go on the volcano of Rotar reaching the mouth of the volcano is a round in the mouth of the volcano itself, and here lie the fumaroles that are glowing gases that rise from the bowels of the earth. During the excursions always reach specific points where it is shown and explained the geological phenomena of the Island of Ischia. We always travel in the geological history of the Island of Ischia, in the sense that:
we look at points where the thermal water springs on the surface directly from the bowels of the earth
let's see how it is to soak the mud and how is it used
we go into the craters of extinct volcanoes on the volcanic lavas
speak, still on the rise, the different types of hot springs and thermal waters we see emerald green or fire red or even black as night, etc..
