Camel Riding in Favignana is a guided camel trek across the island's rugged limestone terrain, located off Sicily's western coast. Riders follow ancient goat paths between the quarries of Calcara and the salt pans of Punta Longa, with views of the Egadi archipelago. The activity combines slow-paced animal transport with a narrated tour of Favignana's agricultural and mining history.
