📍 About the location
Carsoli is a small commune of the Abbruzzo region (5.500 inhabitants), 60km far from Rome and accessible by train, bus, and motorway. La Piana del Cavaliere, where is located Carsoli and of which it is the most representative center, has experienced a significant industrial development from the 70’s. This development was deeply favored by the proximity with Rome and the links between the commune and the capital. This territory is covered with numerous woods and a large part of it is considered a protected area. Carsoli area also houses impressive caves, entered on a Site of Community Importance, with numerous pathways. The volunteers will have the opportunity to visit them and other beautiful natural areas. We are preparing a program of proposals with cultural and leisure activities for volunteer’s free time, based on our past experiences. This program must be balanced between the activities we are organizing and some time available for the group in order to socialize.
TERMINAL: Roma Airport, Carsoli train station or bus station
