Arianna
& Friends organizes half-day cultural tours
to the Marsh of Fucecchio, a natural reserve
along the basin of the Arno river between Pisa
and Florence.
For any of these tours you can choose to drive
your own car or ask for a personal
driver service.
The
channels around the bog were digged
during several reclamation attempts
in the last centuries
Near
Vinci there is one of the most important
boggy districts of the whole Tuscan
territory called the Padule di
Fucecchio. It is a vast wet area
formed by some tributaries of the
river Arno and at present it is park
of such utmost beauty that a safeguard
plan is being worked out to turn it
into a Natural Reserve. The
area is rich in rare plants and
wildlife such as several species
of water-lilies, small carnivorous
plants, herons, cranes and black
storks. Foresters count more than
150 species of birds. It is a downright
paradise for lovers of nature
and bird watching. Visiting
the park with one of our specialized
naturalistic guides is an amazing
experience!
