Etna/ Alcantara kloof - It was very nice to go bij bus to the Etna, our guide was nice and told us everything about the mountain and every thing wat was going on.
We saw very beautiful kraters en snow
Really nice to go there.
Next stop was the alcantara kloof this is also very nice to go you must take watershoes to walk in the water.
It was very exciting
The lady who sells the ticket told us that it was a trip to remember and she was right, it was marvelous.

Breath-taking experience. - The stunning views of the contrast of black lava and white snow was breathtaking. We were very lucky with the weather. The guide for Etna was very friendly, knowledgeable and considerate of the individuals’ well-being.
