We will descend to the bottom of the huge crater to go up along a wooded canyon.
We will visit the caves on the north side, certainly prehistoric dwellings of hominids dating back to the same prehistoric period as the famous “Man of Altamura”, whose skeleton was discovered in a speleological cave not far from this place.
