About

Your Experience

Set out for an immersive day among the natural and archaeological wonders of Sardinia. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer to the remarkable Giara di Gesturi, a basaltic plateau known for its untouched scenery and its flora and fauna. Here, you'll wander through forests of cork trees and Mediterranean scrub, and perhaps spot the iconic Cavallini della Giara, wild miniature horses unique to this landscape.

The guided walk is designed for all ability levels and provides rich insights into the region’s natural history and significance. As you explore, your guide will share the story of how the plateau’s unique geology and biodiversity have made it famous throughout Sardinia.

The tour continues to the celebrated Nuraghe Barumini, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This ancient complex, dating back to 1400 BC, showcases stunning megalithic towers and a labyrinth of stone structures. Your expert guide will explain the architectural techniques that shaped this prehistoric settlement and unravel legends from the Nuragic era. Stand within the five towers and visualise life as it was thousands of years ago.

Within the archaeological area, you’ll have access to the Casa Zapata Museum. Once the stately home of the Zapata family, this historic building now houses collections of artefacts unearthed in Barumini and surrounds. In its halls, discover pottery, tools and treasures that reveal the daily lives, artistry and rituals of Sardinia’s early peoples.
