Excursion in Ostuni Lamacornola

Lamacornola is a hidden gem nestled in the Regional Natural Park of the Coastal Dunes, a protected area stretching along the Adriatic coast from Torre Canne to Torre San Leonardo. Located in the Ostuni territory—famous as the “White City” in the Province of Brindisi—this area offers a blend of unspoiled nature, centuries-old olive trees, and traces of ancient cave-dwelling civilizations.

1. Why Choose Lamacornola?

Time seems to stand still here. The lama—a natural ravine carved over centuries by rainwater—winds between rocky cliffs and age-old olive trees, gently leading to the Adriatic Sea. The scenery? A tapestry of caves, underground oil mills, and historic farmsteads, echoing the fascination of bygone cultures.

Fun Fact: The Regional Natural Park of the Coastal Dunes covers over 1,100 hectares of biodiversity. It’s a unique area hosting a variety of habitats, from sandy dunes to monumental olive groves, wetlands, and ancient sections of the Via Traiana.

2. The Trekking Experience

During this excursion, you’ll be fully immersed in the Apulian countryside. Admire the grand olive trees—often called “monumental” for their age and size—and bask in the Mediterranean aromas of wild thyme and scrub. Accredited nature guides will lead you along a path suitable for everyone, sharing anecdotes and fun facts about the region’s flora, fauna, and history.
