Discover the hidden and most authentic side of the Marche region with a full-day excursion that combines millennial geology, spirituality, and breathtaking views. Your adventure begins in the depths of the earth with a visit to the Frasassi Caves, one of the largest and most fascinating underground systems in Europe. Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll enter an underground world only discovered in 1971, walking through colossal halls shaped by water over 190 million years. You'll be enchanted by the Ancona Abyss, a cavity so vast that it could contain the entire Duomo of Milan, and by the “Candeline”, small white stalagmites that are reflected in crystal-clear ponds.
Head to Cingoli for a free lunch, the famous “Balcony of the Marche”. Located at an altitude of 630 metres, this picturesque village offers a panoramic view that stretches from the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea. Strolling through the historic centre, you'll admire noble palaces, the Fontana del Maltempo, and Lorenzo Lotto's masterpieces.
