It is in the spirit of this healthy and formative principle that GAIA proposes a program of Environmental Education, which mainly consists of introducing river and lake ecosystems and their interaction with the historical, cultural and socio-economic evolution of populations, also using special inflatable boats (rafts), which will offer the opportunity to directly elaborate, from a privileged point of view, the notions acquired during theoretical lessons.
Areas rich in archaeological evidence, abbeys, medieval historic centers, and wildlife such as the wolf, the golden eagle and the peregrine falcon, the chamois and the deer.
Just a few kilometers away are the most famous Umbrian locations: Norcia, Cascia, Foligno, Spoleto, Assisi, Todi and Perugia.
