The literal translation of Cinque Terre is Five Lands, and the name justly derives from the five picturesque villages of the region; Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The coastline, villages and the surrounding hills constitute a National Park and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so beautiful are they. For over a millennium the people living within this dramatic landscape have gradually changed its appearance through time as they cultivated the steep hillsides which descend to the rocky shores by the dramatic hand-built terraces of local stone and earth.
As you walk between the villages of Cinque Terre you will be using the extensive network of paths which traverse the region. Undulating over the hills and across these magnificent terraces you pass through areas of woodlands and vineyards all the while enjoying vistas of the stunning blue sea in the distance. You will have plenty of time during this trek to visit and explore the five Cinque Terre villages along with the historic towns of Levanto, Portovenere and Portofino.
