The Abruzzo region of Italy is known as the "untouched gem of Italy". It is a lesser-known and "undiscovered" area unlike the heavily traveled more touristy areas of Italy such as Tuscany and Rome. It's touted as Italy's "green region" (national parks and nature reserves cover much of it). But Abruzzo is so much more than that. It contains lakes, the Adriatic coastline, national parks, imposing mountain ranges, UNESCO heritage sites, some of the most beautiful medieval towns in the country, and an eclectic and diverse cuisine that changes from the beach to the mountains.

Abruzzo is filled with many diverse, exciting, and beautiful opportunities for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. There are almost too many to share, but we'll try! :)
