The surroundings of Capalbio: an excursion to the Vulci park amidst wild nature and archaeology
Capalbio, an enchanting corner of southern Tuscany, is surrounded by a landscape rich in history and unspoilt nature. Situated between the hills of the Maremma Tuscany and the Argentario sea, the area around Capalbio offers a variety of experiences, from paths through hills and woods to the crystal-clear waters of the sea. An ideal area for those seeking authentic contact with nature, but also for archaeology and history enthusiasts, as demonstrated by the Vulci Archaeological Park.
The Vulci Park is a true journey through time, a place where nature and history come together perfectly. Located just a few kilometres from Capalbio, the park is famous for its ancient Etruscan city, a site that dates back to the 7th century B.C. and that today preserves numerous archaeological remains, including temples, tombs and cyclopean walls. Visitors can explore the park along numerous hiking trails that offer spectacular views of the Fiora River valley, the natural landscape surrounding the site and the nearby Lake Mezzano. Every corner of the park tells a story of ancient civilisations, making the hike a unique experience. 
For lovers of adventure and discovery, the trails in the Vulci Park are ideal for immersing oneself completely in the wilderness. The path leading to Ponte di Badia, for instance, crosses an evocative gorge carved into the river, where lush vegetation and birdsong create an enchanting atmosphere. Another fascinating path leads to the Necropolis of Luni, where one can admire ancient Etruscan tombs in a natural setting that has retained its beauty intact. Each itinerary is an invitation to rediscover the charm of an area where ancient history mingles with wild nature.
