Barumini and Giara di Gesturi Day Trip from Cagliari

This excursion lasts about 4 hours and reaches the interior of the island. An expert guide will tell you about the history of the Nuraghi of Barumini and the natural features of the Giara Park. The activity includes an air-conditioned vehicle and an expert guide.

Barumini is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is known for its Nuraghi, one of the most important archaeological sites in the region. The nuraghi are megalithic stone structures built by the Nuraghi, a civilisation that flourished in Sardinia in the Bronze Age. They are circular or truncated cone-shaped and are composed of huge stone blocks placed on top of each other.

The route also touches on the Parco della Giara Tuili, a protected area particularly famous for the Giara ponies, a wild breed of relatively small horses. Their origin is debated, but it is thought that they may be descended from ancient horse populations that inhabited the island before the arrival of breeds from the mainland. The route also passes through Villamar, a small traditional village known for its street art.
