Historical finds
This trail is also known as the anthropologic path thanks to its archaeological importance and is a real must for hiking fans.
The Cilento region is a tourist destination that satisfies everyone: those who prefer the sea as well as nature and hiking fans. In fact, this place has so many hikes to offer. Today, we want to recommend a trail that will take you back 100,000 years, from when Neanderthals used to live on the Cilento coast to the 16th century when watchtowers were built to protect against pirate attacks. The Costa della Masseta is a marine protected area formed by numerous caves that have been inhabited since the Palaeolithic Period. It’s also the place where the remains of Homo Camerotaensis – a prehistoric human that lived 540,000 years ago – were found in 1954. Along the path, you’ll find beaches, cliffs, medieval towers, vineyards, and olive groves. An absolute must-see is the Molara beach, made of gravel and sand, with stunning rocks and caves shaped by the sea. Studies have uncovered various archaeological finds, including a Neanderthal infant jawbone.
