The 5 Terre form one of the most unspoilt areas of the Mediterranean and one of the most extended areas in Liguria. They are a kingdom of nature and wild scents maintained as in the past.
To visit the 5 Terre means to visit five villages suspended between sea and earth, clinging on to cliffs and surrounded by green hills; it means to know the history of whom, for centuries, has fought against difficult land but it also means to taste the results of this millenarian struggle and in particular wine and produce.
To visit these villages means to learn about the culture of the dry-stone walls and of the vineyard, of the fishermen and of their fishing nets, of the steep valleys and of their paths.
Who visits these lands can choose between a dive in the sea or a hike on the hills, between a walk in the narrow alleys called "carruggi" or a boat trip, a pilgrimage to a sanctuary or a seafood lunch.
It is a landscape unique in the world in which man and nature live together in harmony since the beginning of time.
Each village has its own sanctuary to which the local people are tied by a deep devotion. The sanctuaries are joined together by the Via dei Santuari (Path to the Sanctuaries), which winds along the mounts behind the villages on the sea and testifies the very ancient religious roots of these places in which the people were farmers before being sailors. The particular devotion to the Madonna is shown by the presence of the five sanctuaries that have been dedicated to Her on the hills in correspondence of the five villages, as if to dictate the need of a real pilgrimage for prayer. All the sanctuaries are located in beautiful positions perfect for admiring, as if to complete prayer, the spectacular panoramas which induce a deep meditation
