Who We Are<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/i><\/span><\/div>

Naturaliter<\/strong> is a Co-operative Tourism Society, founded in 1998. It\u2019s headquarters are in the Area of the Greeks of Calabria, in Aspromonte National Park (Calabria, Italy).
\nThe founding partners come from different professional backgrounds, including sustainable development training, hiking and climbing, touristic events organisation and agricultural tourism. Their varying skills have been brought together to create tourism services networks in protected areas, involving local communities through innovative programmes of participation and co-operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What We Do<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/i><\/span><\/div>

– We organise and propose hiking tours in areas of natural value and interest in the Mediterranean basin. The tours range from 2 to 15 days in length, and are intended for organised groups, of a minimun of 8 people.
\n– We offer a network of rural accomodation (farm houses, apartments, hikers\u2019 huts in the forests and small family hotels) which welcome tourists in a manner that recalls the Bed and Breakfast.
\n– We actively involve the local communities in catering for groups, by organising interactive events and meetings with the human resources present in each territory, from shepherds to craftsmen, village elders to housewives, local musicians and entrepeneurs and associations.
\n– We manage the different aspects of the tours, from logistics to transport, providing daily present assistance to the groups.
\n– We use minibuses to transport bags and equipment, which are also at the disposal of anyone who does not wish to undertake the scheduled hike for the day, and will thus be able rejoin the group in the evening.
\n– We personalise the itineraries, adapting them to each groups specific requests where possible. We provide detailed information about altitudes, hike-times, logistics, transfer times, and the particular characteristics of each territory proposed.<\/p>\n

Naturaliter does not organise extreme-sport tours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>
