REQUEST INFORMATION

The very special environment of the Po Delta with its ponds populated by herons, the fishermen's huts and boats is the destination of this tour, during which you can see the boat bridges, the Sacche, the Gorino lighthouse, the fishing valleys, the great river that divides into many branches, remaining for kilometers and kilometers on roads and embankments that have water to the left and right, the non-existent traffic. Our great river was diverted to Taglio di Po in 1600 by the Republic of Venice to prevent it from being submerged and at that time the town was in contact with the sea, in fact in that area we still find dunes and shells today.

Every day you will discover a different area of this Park which received recognition from UNESCO in 1999.
