Blackened rock and scrub alternate with stands of pine; the river below dares you with a distant, watery roar. Over 4.5 hours the tour threads old lava flows, a lava-formed forest cave and open ridgelines toward Piano Provenzana, offering close-up perspectives of a volcano that still shapes Sicily.
