Blog
We hope that this multimedia experience will be enjoyable and enriching for you. This blog was created with the aim of sharing as much as possible of the beauty of travel, the world and peoples.
Ecologico Tour is an agency that differs from others in the type of trips it offers: our tours are routes through nature and history, to be experienced on foot or by bicycle.
Our idea is to go back to our origins and savour the beauty that surrounds us by touching it with our hands, breathing in the scents of the earth, tasting the flavours of the world and admiring the beauty that peoples have left us as gifts.
On this page, you will find articles about the trips we offer, insights and curiosities about Umbria and the world.
I advise you to take a moment and read our short articles so that you can discover new and beautiful things, to get inspiration for your next trip.
“A journey does not begin the moment we set off, nor does it end the moment we reach our destination. It actually begins much earlier and never ends, as the tape of memories continues to run through us even after we have stopped. It is the travel virus, an essentially incurable disease” Ryszard Kapuscinski
“There is no man more complete than he who has travelled, who has changed twenty times the shape of his thought and his life” Alphonse de Lamartine
“People do not make journeys; it is journeys that make people” John Steinbeck
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart” Confucius
“Funny thing about travel, once you start it’s hard to stop. It’s like being an alcoholic” Gore Vidal
Madeira
It is all over social media with the name of the “Hawaii of Europe”. Can we blame them? Crystal-clear waters, lush vegetation, mild climate all year round and mouth-watering food.
The Salzkammergut lakes
The Salzkammergut with its 76 mountain lakes is the largest lake area in Austria and in 1997 UNESCO included the Salzkammergut area and the Austrian lakes as World Heritage sites. It is an excellent holiday area not only for water lovers, but also for hikers and mountain bikers.
A wonderfully refreshing, bubbly aperitif
Who among us has never tasted prosecco? And who among us has not enjoyed it at least a little?
I am sure, however, that very few of you have any deeper knowledge about the origins and peculiarities of prosecco. So here I am to leave you with a few more explanations and curiosities about it.
