Murgia park and rock churches tour in Matera

5/5
1 reviews

Embark on a journey beyond the city limits to explore one of Matera's most awe-inspiring landscapes, where untamed beauty and ancient heritage intertwine.

A comfortable shuttle transfer will transport you to and from this wild terrain, where panoramic trails weave through canyons, limestone formations, and open countryside teeming with local flora and fauna. The route offers not only spectacular viewpoints but also a tranquil atmosphere, far removed from bustling crowds.

As you traverse this landscape, you'll have the opportunity to visit some of Murgia’s remarkable rock-hewn churches. These hidden sanctuaries, carved directly into the stone centuries ago, preserve traces of ancient frescoes and narrate tales of faith, daily life, and spirituality deeply rooted in the land. Each stop uncovers a different chapter of Matera’s extensive history.

The tour culminates in one of the day's most scenic moments: sunset over the Sassi of Matera. As the light softens and the stone radiates warm hues, you'll be treated to a spectacular panoramic view, an ideal setting for capturing photos and creating lasting memories. This experience is perfectly suited for travellers seeking to discover Matera from a fresh perspective, seamlessly blending nature, culture, and timeless landscapes into one unforgettable afternoon.
