What to expect
Embark on a journey beyond the city limits to explore one of Matera's most awe-inspiring landscapes, where untamed beauty and ancient heritage intertwine.A comfortable shuttle transfer will transport you to and from the protected area of Murgia Timone, a restricted section of the Regional Park of the Rupestrian Churches accessible with the included entrance ticket. This remarkable archaeological area is home to the remains of an ancient Neolithic village, where some of the earliest human communities in Southern Italy once lived. Here, panoramic trails weave through canyons, limestone formations, and open countryside teeming with local flora and fauna.As you traverse this landscape, you'll have the opportunity to visit some of Murgia’s remarkable rock-hewn churches. These hidden sanctuaries, carved directly into the stone centuries ago, preserve traces of ancient frescoes and narrate tales of faith, daily life, and spirituality deeply rooted in the land.Along the route, you will also cross the dramatic Golgota area, chosen by Mel Gibson as a filming location for The Passion of the Christ thanks to its timeless and cinematic scenery.The tour culminates in one of the day’s most scenic moments: sunset over the Sassi of Matera from the panoramic Belvedere viewpoint. As the light softens and the stone radiates warm hues, you'll be treated to a spectacular view, an ideal setting for capturing photos.
