The first day we start with full strength, soon setting off towards the lake of Raja, passing through the various fields of local farmers. We skirt the lake, with a beautiful view of Cozzo Imbriaca and the Listi di San Felice, a very particular rock formation, which from a distance could almost look like the ruins of a castle.
Continuing we will go up inside a valley where we will stop for a picnic stop organized by our staff.
We will resume the trek passing through the village of Campofiorito until we reach the old railway line which will take us to the structure where we will stay tonight, an old farmhouse run by a couple of brothers who love horses, the countryside and cats.
Once the horses and the harness have been arranged, after a hot shower we move with a transfer to the historic center of Corleone where a walking tour will be organized, a particular experience that will tell us about the history and vicissitudes of a country today a symbol of the fight against the mafia phenomenon .
