Reliability, passion and respect for nature form the bedrock of all that we do. We are deeply rooted in this land - we grew up here, and we are committed to its safeguarding. We work closely with Protected Areas and rely on a strong network of trusted partners. Our mission is to help you discover the true essence of the Central Apennines. You are in the wild heart of Italy, and you can count on us to guide you through it with professionalism and a steadfast commitment to your safety.
Driven by passion, connected to nature
We are always proud and grateful when our work is recognised as a benchmark for ecotourism.
For over ten years, Wildlife Adventures has offered experiences that bring people closer to nature while supporting conservation initiatives and providing economic opportunities for local communities.
With a deep knowledge of the area and a genuine passion for nature, our guides offer more than just hiking: they deliver unforgettable adventures.
All of our guides are highly qualified and certified professionals with years of experience in the field. This ensures that you will have a safe, engaging and meaningful experience.
Wildlife Adventures has become a well-established ecotourism tour operator in Central Europe.
Like the most extraordinary stories, this one began with a dream, tucked away in the pages of an empty Moleskine notebook. Umberto brought that vision to life by creating a facility that would bring people closer to nature and make them part of a change.
We protect biodiversity, enhance local communities and promote responsible tourism experiences
Authentic experiences for a sustainable future. For us, sustainability is not just a guiding principle, but a true philosophy that informs everything we do.
Nature knows no borders
More than guides, we are passionate explorers. We live in nature and for nature, driven by the desire to share with you the extraordinary beauty of our mountains.
With more than 15 years of experience, excellent feedback and valuable partners, we are a benchmark for those seeking authentic, safe and well-organised experiences.
