Discover the magic of the Zingaro Nature Reserve,
an unspoilt paradise in Trapani.
Explore the untouched beauty of the Zingaro Nature Reserve in Sicily. Journey through its rugged cliffs and emerald coves on a path less traveled.
he Zingaro Nature Reserve stands as one of the last unspoiled stretches of the Sicilian coastline, where ancient ‘trazzere’ invite you to explore on foot or by mule, the traditional means of transport until the 1960s.
The Rugged Cliffs and Serene Coves
Characterized by steep cliffs that dive over 900 meters into the crystalline sea, the coastline of the Zingaro Reserve offers a stunning contrast with its soft, welcoming coves. As you traverse the 7-kilometer trail, the landscape unfolds in a kaleidoscope of breathtaking colors and scents.
