To explore this enchanted place there are guided tours organized by HMO Viaggi, and The Sense Experience Resort, which has placed the power of nature at the centre of its philosophy, is nearby the park.Craters and old wash houses
You can take a 30-minute tour to explore the park, starting from the centre of Monterotondo Marittimo. After about a hundred metres, you will find yourself in front of the Lagone Cerchiaio, a crater fed by thermal waters which are between 100 ° C and 150 ° C. You can see the old wash houses they built using characteristic octagonal bricks made in the furnaces of Vecchienne and dating back to the 1930s.
A longer tour lasting three hours
Crossing the path, you can admire limestone crystallizations and a terrace where water from the Chiorba spring flows. The walk then continues between walls that puff smoke and you will feel the overwhelming strength and energy of nature on your skin. There is also a longer tour from Biancane or Sasso Pisano which is 7.5 kilometres long and takes on average about three hours. Not to be missed is the well with boiling water, a magical and evocative place that, depending on the day, looks like a mouth from which a large amount of steam and water emerges at boiling temperatures.
