What are the best volcanoes in the world to visit
Few things in nature are as beautiful as a volcano. The connection of fire with the mountain, heat with cold peaks or hills, the green of the forest with the black of the new earth. And often there is also the sea. The force of the Earth causes volcanoes to rise from the sea to form islands that simply contain all the elements of nature.
Movies, novels, works of art, and a large part of the imagination of entire cultures are devoted to volcanoes. From Neapolitan to Japanese, from very small Pacific islands to entire regions of Latin America.
Volcanoes are incredible, they have a sublime and astonishing beauty, and they inspire fear and at the same time enchant fire shows in which even the most beautiful fireworks seem ridiculous. This is why volcanoes attract everyone: scientists such as naturalists and geologists, tourists interested in trekking, or simply the spectacle that lava offers.
But what are the most beautiful volcanoes in the world to visit? Some are inaccessible and very difficult to reach, immersed in impenetrable forests or even invisible because they are covered with snow and ice. Nevertheless, there are other places where you can reach almost the mouth of the volcano relatively easily.
Volcanoes to visit in Italy
In Italy, we even have three volcanoes that are included in the ranking of the most beautiful in the world. The ranking was recently compiled by the English newspaper The Guardian. We are talking about Stromboli, in Sicily, Etna, also in Sicily, and then Vesuvius, a few steps from Naples, in Campania.
However, there are also magnificent volcanoes that can easily be visited elsewhere in the world. Here are the top six to note when we book our next holiday.
