WHO WE ARE

A team of professionals qualified and certified by law, authorized to lead and accompany in active volcanic areas.

Who is the Volcanological Guide?

The Volcanological Guide is a professional in accompanying volcanoes who, with specialized training, carries out his activity in an environmental context of extraordinary richness where the bursting and primordial action of natural forces are the undisputed protagonists of unparalleled emotions.

The approach to active volcanic areas guaranteeing high safety standards and mitigating the objective risk that this entails, is the strong point of these professionals who seem to operate in symbiosis with the fearsome but seductive spectacle offered by active volcanoes, often characterized by a singular succession of various manifestations and eruptive styles of which it is essential to know the causes, effects and meanings for a conscious approach.

The Volcanological Guide is much more than an expert who accompanies visitors among craters and lava flows; He is a narrator of the earth, a bridge between the primordial past of our planet and the present. Through his words and gestures the volcanological guide ignites wonder, transforming apparently hostile landscapes into natural theaters of power and beauty.

Luca Cosma - Volcanological Guide registered with the Regional College of Alpine and Volcanological Guides of Sicily

Raised at the foot of Etna and Stromboli, alongside the Alpine Guides of Etna and Stromboli, with whom I have continued to cooperate for 20 years now. Passion and knowledge are the starting point to ensure that hikers consciously face the exploration of the territory in which they find themselves, trying to convey to them those sensations that accompany me every day.
