Cilento and Vallo di Diano national park

UNESCO Global Geopark

If you’re looking for a place where you can discover the local flora and fauna, this park is the perfect solution.

Unspoilt nature, protected biodiversity, fascinating sea life, amazing views: all that and much more awaits you at the Cilento and Valle di Diano national park in the Salerno province! It was founded in 1991 to protect the area and has now become a UNESCO World Geopark thanks to its rich flora and fauna. The animal species that you might see (or even meet) during your hike are: golden eagles, Italian hares, martens, wolves, and the Rosalia alpina beetle, or even turtles. And of course, you’ll find the Primula Palinuri, the yellow flower that is also the symbol of the park. You can reach the protected area in a 30-minute drive, and can then continue on foot or by bike. Or you could even decide to admire the area from the sea with a lovely boat trip. During your vacation in Campania, you absolutely have to pay it a visit! Buckle up your boots, fill up your water bottle, and charge your camera … your adventure is about to begin!
