What you'll do
Put on your walking shoes and come exploring the local wild plants of the Mediterranean shrubland of the Monte Pisano, the mountain range that separets Lucca and Pisa! We will learn about culinary and medicinal uses for many of the plants we find, with some history, Folklore and anecdotes. At the top of our route we will make some freshly cut herbal tea to enjoy along with the view. Be prepared for the world to look a little different when you return, since you will probably be astonished just how interesting so many of our common wild plants are! These walks are relaxed, gentle and scenic, normally lasting about 2 hours, with plenty of time to stop and get to know the plants.
Other things to note
The walk is easy, but in rock path. I suggest to wear comfortable closed-toe shoes.

I'm a certified and experienced hiking guide since 2012, and I graduated in agricultural sciences. I was born in Lucca and I have spent most of my life exploring and learning about the backcountry in this area. With my husband Alessandro (certified hiking and MTB guide) we have created "Amazing Lucca" (www.amazing-lucca.com) to show our clients the so impressive gems hidden in the territory around Lucca.
