"The Pittoresque-bordered Wide Garden". That's how Cilento has been described by Lenomant in his book "à travers l'Apulie et Lucanie" .

The National Park of Cilento and Diano Wall with its 180 thousands hectares of preserved Nature, is included in the world net of Biosphere Reserves. It has been decalred World Patrimony of Humankind by Unesco and among its main aims there is the preservation of biodiversity, in fact many plants and animals live in its land, some are specific and feature it. The floristic patrimony of the park counts up to about 1.800 different species of local spontaneous plants many of them are endemic and/or rare. The best known is the Palinuro Primrose, the symbol of the Park.


Upon the mountain tops and cliffs you can often see the Real Eagle, Pilgrim Hawk, Wool Hawk and the Coturnix.

  
A more thorough look to life that develops in the Park shows us that it is not only a patrimony from the point of view of the richness of flora and fauna but even from a cultural point of view. Its richness is the result of work of man who restyled and transformed the original natural landscape during the ages, through the tiling of herds, the terraces built upon the hills to grow grapes, olive trees, the chestnut tree, the fruit tree, the vegetables and leaving the wonderful and variegated maquis. The intervention of man changed in time in a harnonic balance with the natural landscape. The Cilento and Diano Wall Park gathers 95 municipalities, all in the province of Salerno. 80 of them are in the area of the Park and 15 in the close areas. All the municipalities of the Park are geolocalized.

Many activities in the park such as farm hilidays, hotels, B&B, restaurants are geolocalized and reachable by the satellite navigator.
