From Rome, Via Sacra Romana and Lakes Hiking Tour with Pasta

Embark on a hiking tour from Rome through the fields of Hannibal to Via Sacra Romana and volcanic lakes, surrounded by sacred woods. End the experience with a delightful pasta dish overlooking the scenic views.

We utilize our minivan to collect you at the Anagnina Underground Station in Rome, ensuring that the journey to the Castelli Romani unfolds seamlessly, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an atmosphere of anticipation for what lies ahead. Our arrival is scheduled approximately 25 minutes into the village of Hannibal’s Fields, given its historical significance as the site where renowned Carthaginian General Hannibal set up his encampment to survey Rome from afar.

Upon arriving, we traverse through a well-preserved Roman pavement dating back to the 7th century BC, designated as Via Sacra, a significant artery of communication throughout the region over centuries. This path, named thusly, reflects its original purpose of facilitating access to the Temple of Jupiter, revered as the paramount sanctuary during the pre-Roman era.

Following our exploration of the rich tapestry of Castelli Romani history and nature, we witness a breathtaking vista that captivates our senses. From this panoramic vantage point, we are enveloped by the expansive natural landscape of the Castelli Romani, encompassing the mesmerizing lakes where local guides honed their kayaking skills.

The descent commences, leading us back towards our initial location. Upon reaching the shore of Lake Albano, we proceed to a charming restaurant nestled amidst the serene surroundings. Here, we indulge in a delectable Roman pasta dish, savoring each mouthful while enjoying the tranquil ambiance.

As we return to the Anagnina Underground Station, we conclude our evening tour under the glow of streetlights, creating an intimate and picturesque experience that perfectly encapsulates our journey. During the warmer months, we offer this tour in the company of soft lights and illuminated paths, replacing the traditional meal with a refreshing Roman aperitif.
