For most, the name Tuscany brings to mind Renaissance art, neat rows of pencil-thin cypress trees and rolling green hills stretching into the horizon, but this historic region in Central Italy has another, more dramatic side. Blessed with over 4,000 mountains—from the rugged Apennines, the backbone of the boot-shaped peninsula, to the Apuan Alps, which abound in world-famous Carrara marble—Tuscany is an undiscovered hiker’s paradise. Venture into the dense chestnut forests, explore the hamlets in the province of Lucca, learn about the plights of local WW2 partisans, and enjoy some of the most awe-inspiring views in all of Italy from the top of Monte Prado, the Roof of Tuscany. Between hikes, your hosts at the organic Lavacchio Farm will fill your heart with warmth and your bellies with the finest wine and cuisine the region has to offer.

We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, their guides, and the communities they’re traveling to.
