Explore Matera and be enchanted not only by the famous Sassi of the historic center but also by the hidden treasures surrounding this ancient city.
With our ArcheoTrekking, our archaeologist and environmental hiking guide Matteo will lead you on a unique adventure through millennia of history and fascinating landscapes, immersing you in its ancient history and in even more enchanting, but lesser-known and explored places, ready to be rediscovered. Venture into the unique archaeological sites that make Matera a gem of Basilicata.
The time machine starts, and we go back millions of years! We will begin the discovery from the origins of Matera by exploring the Grotta dei Pipistrelli, a place that tells us about the birth of the natural landscape and an archaeological site where the primitive traces of human presence in the territory were found.
With a leap in time, we then find ourselves in the more recent prehistory to discover the suggestive Neolithic village at Murgia Timone, an area of the Matera Murgia that encapsulates centuries of history until the medieval era, of which we literally have the keys to show you from the inside the fascinating rock churches that dominate the city’s skyline. The last stop of our historical and archaeological journey will take us to the so-called “Saracen Village“, an ancient medieval village nestled among the rocks and surrounded by pristine nature.
Matera awaits you with its extraordinary testimonies of the past, which we will make you discover thanks to our archaeologist and environmental hiking guide Matteo, offering you an unforgettable experience that will make you experience the perfect fusion of human history and ingenuity and natural beauties, inspiring you to a sustainable lifestyle.
