Isili: nature experience with wild plant harvesting and picnic in the woods

Accompanied by an expert local guide specialized in mycology, you will cross landscapes of oaks, oaks and wild vegetation, learning to recognize wild plants, their habitats and their possible uses in daily life. The path will change with the seasons: in winter you can learn more about the world of mushrooms, discovering how to distinguish edible species from poisonous ones and what rules to respect for responsible harvesting. In spring and summer, however, you will observe herbs and plants typical of the period, learning their respective characteristics and uses in the kitchen.

At the end of the walk, a lunch based on seasonal and local products will await you: we will stop for a picnic in the woods or, we will move to the farmhouse, allowing ourselves a moment of conviviality in the quiet of the countryside.

Let yourself be conquered by the scents of the earth and the stories related to these places, and always carry with you the memory of an authentic Sardinia far from the most popular routes.
