Rebellious Lake Como. On the footsteps of the smugglers
Lake Como is a land of wonderful landscapes and history, but also the place where the adventures of smugglers, brigands and soldiers have been consumed. In this frontier land between Italy and Switzerland, the mountains just around the city Como were excavated to accommodate trenches, fortresses and hiding places.

The Tour will guide you for a few hours (up to 5 hours) in the Spina Verde park, a nice green area of Como, where you can enjoy the natural beauty of the park, beautiful views of the city and the lake and learn very particular aspects of the local history.

On this journey that combines the discovery of a wonderful nature,
