Murgia Matera Park Tour – Nature, History and Breathtaking Sunsets Discover the most authentic side of Matera on a guided tour in the heart of the Murgia Materana Park, just a short walk from the famous Sassi. A walking adventure through spectacular canyons, prehistoric caves, cave churches and breathtaking landscapes, accompanied by expert local guides. The route will take you along ancient paths used for centuries by farmers and shepherds, with breathtaking views of the ravine and visits to places carved into the rock, where time seems to have stood still. You will discover rupestrian churches with 1000-year old frescoes, caves inhabited since prehistoric times, and traces of the rural life of the past. During the walk, you'll be immersed in the Mediterranean scrub: wild thyme, broom, oregano, and orchids color the landscape and perfume the air. With a bit of luck, you'll spot the lesser kestrel, the park's iconic bird of prey, along with foxes, hares, and other local species. The most magical moment comes at sunset: from the Murgia, you can admire the Sassi of Matera illuminated by the golden light of the setting sun, in one of the most beautiful views in Italy. A perfect experience for photographers, nature lovers, and curious travelers.
