Have you ever gone trekking with sheep? Join us for a truly unique experience in the heart of the Natural Park of Otranto – Santa Maria di Leuca, walking along scenic trails from the hills down to the stunning Bay of Acquaviva, one of the most picturesque spots on the Salento coast. At 11:00 AM, we begin by welcoming and feeding the sheep. Then, we’ll start our guided trek, each participant leading their own sheep with a long rope. The path winds through forests, natural gorges, rocky landscapes, and caves, offering incredible views and moments of connection with nature. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about cheese-making traditions, wild herbs, and how the land has shaped the lives of the local farmers. Once we reach the bay, we’ll try milking the sheep, and if conditions allow, you’ll taste freshly made “casu” and ricotta. If not, we’ll enjoy a selection of local cheeses, organic jams, and a glass of local wine, right by the sea. This is the perfect blend of nature, tradition, and authentic flavors, ideal for anyone who wants to experience the real soul of southern Italy.
