   Depending on the group’s level, we can choose to visit the Chapel of Vitaleta—one of the most iconic spots in Tuscany.

From there, a gentle descent will lead us to the charming town of San Quirico d’Orcia, a beautiful spot to explore and immerse in the authentic Tuscan atmosphere. This route is less common, perfect for those who want to venture off the beaten path and experience something beyond the usual highlights.
