Steep, dusty, and absolutely worth it. This legendary volcano, famous for burying Pompeii in 79 AD, is still active today. The climb is around 2.5 miles round trip but feels SO much longer & takes about an hour to get up the volcano!
It’s a hard hike with the loose volcanic gravel underfoot but it’s all worth it for the view of the Bay of Naples stretching out below & to see at the top of this- a massive steaming crater- witnessing her steam from the lava below, knowing she is still active, & I’m standing on it- mind blowing!
It’s one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, yet standing on its rim, overlooking ancient ruins, you can’t help but feel in awe of history and nature.
An unforgettable hike! Have you ever hiked a volcano?
