Day 2 – TREKKING ON THE ISLAND’S PEAKS
Transfer by Land Rover to the summit of ‘Bruncu Spina’ at an altitude of 1829 m, where we can find rare plants such as the Astralagus of the Gennargentu, the saxifrage and dwarf juniper that crawling can reach 4 meters in length. It goes along scenic trails, trampling on millions of years of geological eras which have formed the highest mountains of Sardinia. This is the realm of the king eagle and the mouflon, they will be constantly present during our trek. The special feature of today’s stage is the altitudinal sequence of vegetation. In fact, we will come through forests of oaks, and as we go up the tall trees leave space for garrigue, a particular form of vegetation consisting of perennial grasses and aromatic shrubs. From the top the gaze will range on the whole island and you will see the sea both the east coast and of the West. In the late afternoon return to the hotel, dinner and free evening.

Day 3 – CANYONING IN THE URZULEI SUPRAMONTE
This route is without doubt one of the most interesting and wild around the Supramonte.It starts from ‘Sedda ar Baccas’ to reach the throat of Orbisi. After the first part consisting of large boulders partly smoothed by the raging waters, we reach the first jump of 9 meters to proceed then with the most anticipated and spectacular of its kind, a 35-meter vacuum in the giant karst pothole ‘Pischina Urtaddala’ will give us an intense adrenaline rush. Continuing along the ‘codula’ we arrive at the third jump of 18 meters. Going beyond the wall of the pothole, on the right is the rig to go down a dark and narrow 15 meters deep fracture. After a short but challenging climb of a few meters we continue with a jump of 12 meters. A thin blade of limestone acts as a barrier for the last jump of 35 meters. Return to the hotel, dinner and free evening.

Day 4 – KAYAKING ON THE HIGH FLUMENDOSA LAKE
At a few minutes from the hotel the high Flumendosa lake is the perfect place for a day in kayak. The lake is situated on a large plateau at 850 m arriving at the foot of the Gennargentu, it is the highest of Sardinian lakes. The canoe trip is dedicated to exploring the lake surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, forests of ancient oaks and conifers. In addition to small bights hidden in the vegetation we can explore the two small islands in the middle of the sea, spectacular view of the eastern side of the Gennargentu. Return to the hotel, dinner and free evening.
