If I tell you spa treatments, fine wines, bike routes, rafting and local food you have an uncontrollable desire to leave and travel? Then follow me to discover the beauties of the Taburno Camposauro Regional Park, in the province of Benevento in Campania.
Taburno Camposauro Regional Park is a lesser-known place of the Campania Region (South Italy), so different from the most visited places of Sorrento and Amalfi Coast. It’s also a authentic part of Campania, where you keep intact magnificent small villages and unspoiled nature.
Far from the tourist clichés of Italy, here you can live as a local, staying in an organic farmhouse and tasting amazing local products accompanied by a glass of Aglianico, the local wine.
The natural park of the Taburnus welcomes you more as a traveler not as a tourist: you can talk with local people, visit the traditional festivals (such as the Carnival of the Months) and walk in the pristine nature of the park.
Here are our tips to make your trip truly sustainable and unique!
What to do in the Taburno Camposauro Regional Park?
Things to discover in this part of Italy are many and it would be impossible to list them all: the Regional Park Taburno Camposauro offers natural beauty, but also resources of historical and cultural interest.
Between history and nature, you can not miss the wonderful eon-cultural route, at north of Solopaca, that will allow you to discover Roman villas, Samnite fountain, churches, archaeological finds along the cultivation of vines that were growing already in Roman times.
Discover the Pietraroja fossil deposits and its museum, or venture into the gorges of Caccaviola by canoe. Unexpectedly you discover beautiful scenery, uncontaminated nature made of waterfalls, natural and clear pools, and a lush wild vegetation.
Perhaps what is most incredible of the Taburno Camposauro area is the village of Sant’Agata de’ Goti, an ancient city perched on the plateau of a tuff hill. Getting here is exciting and its streets, its roofs, the monuments will leave you breathless. And from here an interesting itinerary begins, to discover the beautiful landscapes of Benevento region.
