After breakfast the group will be assigned horses before you depart at around 08:30. This mornings ride will take you to the historical town of Castelbuono. This town has been the administrative headquarters of Ventimiglia for several centuries. These barons were feudal aristocrats among the most powerful of the island, mainly through cultivated fields with olives and manna ash. You will follow the river Pollina and its tributary Raino, in the territories of San Mauro Castelverde and Geraci Sicul; an area covered with bush and scrub, alternating semi-abandoned fields of ancient olive trees.

You will ride through an old "trazzera" to reach the medieval village of Gangi, among the most beautiful in Italy (awarded in 2014) at approximately 1000m above sea level. The ride will then take you to the territory of Blufi, where there is an outcrop of oil, for centuries considered miraculous. Here you will enjoy a picnic lunch. In the afternoon you will continue towards Resuttano, crossing the river Imera, passing through ancient semi-abandoned farms, fields and pastures. Late afternoon you will arrive at Feudo Tudia, a restored farmhouse located in an agricultural village almost completely uninhabited. 
Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4
You will depart at around 08:30 this morning, riding through organic vineyards of the farm and ancient Sicilian crops. You will ride along the "royal trazzere" routes, established by the Bourbon government of the island during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to allow free movement of herds and people across the island. You will stop for a picnic lunch en route.

Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 6 
You will depart around 08:30 in the direction of Sant'Angelo Muxaro, another little ancient town that would have been the seat of Kokalos, King of Sicans, mysterious indigenous people that inhabited the island before the Greeks and Sicules.

There will be a tour inside the town and you will stop for a demonstration of ricotta tasting along with a tasting session. Once back on the trail you will stop for a picnic among eucalyptus trees.

You will ride though an agricultural area near to the town of Aragona before reaching 'Macalube' where the curious resurfacing of methane gas has caused small, cold craters. You will ride on in the direction of Agrigento, the ancient Agrakas, which was founded by people originating from Crete and Rhodes around 580BC. Today's picnic lunch will be in the village of Monte Aperto. In the afternoon you will ride in the direction of the temples where you will enjoy a guided tour of these monuments. The area is considered one of great importance by UNESCO and includes the temples of Hera, Concordia, Hercules, Zeus and Castor. You will then continue towards the seaside village of SanLeone where you will spend your final night in the B&B L'Approdo. A delicious seafood dinner will be enjoyed in a prestigious local restaurant.

Day 8 - 2 Nov
After a final breakfast there may be an opportunity to arrange a guided visit to the archaeological museum and/or free time for shopping in the city's medieval centre (depending on your flight time).
