CAVATA, NINFA, TASTING and BONIFICATION tour

Guided bus tour between the farms and the pontine bonificaires. Canoeing on the River Cavata at the Regional Natural Monument “Monticchio Spring Area”; lunch break in farmhouse with tasting typical local products and rest; guided tour of the area of ​​the Regional Natural Monument ”Ninfa Garden”.

Path:

Departure from FS Latina railway station (subway exit at Sermoneta side) with shuttle to the Cavata river.

Embarkation for the CANOA route from the origins of the River, under the magnificent landscape of the medieval village of Sermoneta. The Cavata was born at the base of the Lepini Mountains and crosses fascinating places that, for a real miracle, survived land deforestation and exploitation of land for agricultural purposes.

Slowly falling down to the confluence of the main branch of the river, fed by numerous springs in the Wood of Monticchio. This bifurcation guarded by a very high age poplar, offers a wonderful view of Sermoneta and the ancient Norma, a village perched on the Lepini Mountains.

Going up the river you will come to a small dam built with fallen trees, creating a crystal clear water pond where in summer you can stand for a wonderful fresh regenerating bath. At this point you can still see some polished stones, probably parts of an old river port.

After canoe trip, lunch break in the Farmhouse with time to relax for rest.

Finally, take a guided tour of Ninfa’s garden and return to Latina Railway Station.
