Hiking in Maremma Tuscany

The Capo d’Uomo Ruins at Monte Argentario

From Autumn to Spring is definitely the best time of the year for those activities, since Summer is  sometimes hot for hiking.
Maremma Tuscany is rich in itineraries on foot and, in my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful.
The path leading to the ruins is easy and enjoyable, It passes through short sections of wood , and goes forward inside the Mediterranean scrub then.

A stunning view of the sea and islands seen through the dense vegetation will capture you all along the itinerary.

An enchanting blaze of colours, scents and beauty.
When you reach the Capo d’Uomo ruins you are on the top of a rocky face overhanging the sea

While walking we had the chance to take pictures to a group climbing just on the edge of the cliff.

What will you find once on the top? A breathtaking 360-degree panorama: looking northward you glimpse the coast towards Piombino together with Elba Island, moving your eyes down south you see Montecristo Island, then Giglio and Giannutri Islands, on the back the dense vegetation of Monte Argentario and down to the sea a series of inlets, bays and oxbows with Argentarola and Rossa Islands standing out.

I definitely recommend this trip to hiking lovers! You only have to be a bit trained and to wear comfortable clothes and hiking boots or gym shoes.
