A knowledgeable guide who has specialized in this activity for more than ten years now offers you a range of services so you can take part in this beautiful experience. The "Cerca," also known as the "true hunt," is led by a "Trifulau," also known as a "truffle hunter," with the assistance of his trustworthy and well-trained dog. Learn more about truffles and why they are so rare along the way and expert tips on how to find them.
From our starting point, the "Cerca" will head in the direction of the first available "Tartufaia" (truffle setting). The hunter will decide which route to take based on the customer's requirements. We recommend going on a hunt of this kind very early in the morning or late at night.
