      We leave from MONTEFIASCONE pedaling on paved roads but little affected by car traffic. The distance is not long, therefore we also plan an intermediate stop in TUSCANIA to enjoy the journey more comfortably.

      TUSCIA is an area that boasts a truly incredible historical-artistic and cultural heritage.

      today's Tarquinia presents itself to the visitor as a perfect mix of different historical periods. An assured journey through time among the towers, churches, medieval walls, the Etruscan Unesco Heritage and a magnificent sun that hides behind the sea every day giving unique colors.
