Chariot excursions in the Uccellina Nature Park, Maremma Tuscany

Chariot excursions offer a different and adventurous way to visit the Uccellina Nature Park (also called Maremma Nature Park)! This rustic means of transport allows visitors to explore places that are too far away to be reached on foot from the village of Alberese (entry to the park), with the only other way of moving around being on horseback.

By traveling in a chariot, you can approach the wild fauna in a unique way. Most animals, including the wild horses and the characteristic Maremma cows, will observe you with an amused look without being frightened.

Birdwatchers can reach and observe the winter locations of migrant birds even during rainy days and colder months: the chariots can be covered with an impermeable cloth… and off you go, undaunted!

The chariots at Maremma Park have 28 seats, including 8 for disabled visitors, which means that you and your family or friends can enjoy a group excursion out in the pristine nature.
