Hiking through the Cinque Terre is an amazing experience that gives a different perspective of this unique area, we'll be surrounded by the lushuring vegetation of the National Park with spectacular views of the multicoloured coastal villages that reflect the glittering sea.
Admiring this trail means coming close to the old tradition of wine and olive oil production or even interacting with locals as they work in olive groves or vineyards. We can have the chance to see folks out working in olive groves or carrying wine grapes from the harvest, with baskets full of grapes carried on top of the head or on the "monorail", the typical and unique mean of transport on the hills.
We will walk along the cliffs, amongst the forests and vineyards, private beautiful gardens surrounded by the scented mediterranean vegetation. An adventure that takes us off the beaten tracks and we'll be so rewarded at the end of the day with more knowledge about the envinroment and its vegetation and wildlife.

I spent 5 nights in La Spezia as a base for hiking in Cinque Terre and the surrounding areas. My apartment was 3 minutes walk from the train station so an ideal base and much cheaper and less busy than Cinque Terre. I hiked from Monterossa to Corniglia one day and Riomaggiore to Corniglia another day. The hikes can be a bit tough if you are not used to walking up hill, especially the Riomaggior to Manarola as it is a steep uphill slog, and then straight down the other side. This hike only takes about an hour but it is quite steep, so a good level of fitness is required. I also took a bus to Portovenere and then a ferry to Palmaria Island. The hike around here is around 6km and the views are amazing. It is much quieter than the Cinque Terre paths and I would highly recommend this hike.

Wonderful experience! Veronica took us to a lovely winery where we were lucky enough to have the head winemaker around us to explain. She made everything Easy for us and walking along the vineyards was awesome!
