Fun, and full of excitement! Nestled high in the Sardinian Mountains lies the remnants of Monteponi, representing a milestone in the history of the Italian mining industry. Enjoy the power and excitement of a 2 passenger quad-runner off-road adventure while exploring the ruins of one of the largest mineral mines in the region.
You will meet your English speaking guide outside your Cagliari cruise ship terminal. They will escort you to your comfortable, air-conditioned transportation for the short 45-minute journey into the scenic Sardinian Mountains, complete with spectacular views.
Upon arrival at base camp, you will receive all necessary handling instructions and safety equipment to begin your amazing journey through the forest to the ruins of Monteponi Mine (Iglesias) on your very own off-road quad. The vehicles are automatic and easy to drive. They are shared 2 person quads. If you order for 2 participants, you will ride in the same vehicle but can switch out driving duties. The first stretch will allow you to gain confidence then off you go! The first part of the excursion you will ride through the hills and admire the Sardinian forest. You will be delighted by the amazing views. Your guide will have bottled water ready for you along the trails.
Your next stop is the mine ruins. Monteponi mining complex represents a milestone in the history of Italian mining history, now is abandoned but once was the Sardinian most important producer of lead, zinc, and silver. The operation of the mine started back in 1324 and continued until 1992. Today is the most outstanding Sardining post-mining landscape. Your knowledgeable local guide will share his expertise, providing both historical and interesting anecdotes to help make this a very personal experience.
Then you will drive the quads back to the base camp where you will board your transportation to be returned to your Cagliari cruise terminal.
