A
very original way to discover Pisa
and its region
Pisa
lies close to the mouth of the river
Arno, just next to an extensive protected
area called Parco di San Rossore -
Migliarino. You can visit Pisa
from a very original perspective
taking our small ferry and get to
the park from the river.
Mini
cruises on ferry boat around Pisa,
to the park San Rossore and to the
Arno Mouth at the Thyrrhenian Sea
You meet your local English speaking
tour leader in Pisa and get on the
ferry right in town. We will see the
whole town and its spectacular
lungarni, with an endless series
of Renaissance palaces mirroring themselves
into the water, until we get out of
town into a charming green area, extending
for about 9 kms to the River Arno
into the Thyrrhenian sea.
The
Natural Park of San Rossore - Migliarino
and its pinewoods
On the
way back upstream, we stop at the
main entrance of the San Rossore natural
park. San Rossore Natural Park
is a large protected area ranging
from Marina di Pisa, just 10 kms from
Pisa, to Torre del Lago, very near
to Viareggio. Most of its vast territory
is covered by pinewood hosting
an enormous variety of wildlife, including
the wild bore, the deer and above
all many different species of birds.
In the park the two Tuscan main
rivers Arno and Serchio flow into
the Thyrrhenian sea forming a unique
and highly protected sandy beach.
You
can see the park from an unusual perspective
and learn a great deal about the local
flora and fauna.
