Involving children and young people in a correct relationship with the natural environment means above all making them live the experience of discovery firsthand, through direct observation and participation.
Our educational programs aim to show the natural mechanisms in the place where they take place, in the uncontaminated nature of the Monte Cucco Park.

Our educational facilities

THE CAVE OF MONTE CUCCO

In the heart of the Monte Cucco Park, there is one of the most important underground systems in Europe. The natural spectacle opens for about 900 meters of underground tourist route dedicated to those who want to live a unique sensorial experience, made of sounds, those of the water that slowly digs the rock, of smells, those of the depth of the mountain, of images, those created by stalactites and stalagmites.

MUSEUM OF THE MONTE CUCCO PARK

The laboratory Museum, located in the medieval historic center of Costacciaro, is a unique educational structure of its kind, which illustrates what has happened, and still happens, in the limestone masses of Monte Cucco and the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, revealing the mysterious paths that the rain follows in the bowels of the mountains, before reviewing the light through the springs and feeding the slopes in the lowland areas. The museum itinerary is especially designed for school children and teenagers, where the discovery and acquisition of new knowledge takes place through direct participation, with interactive machines, tools and three-dimensional models operated by the visitors themselves.
