The Archeopark in Darfo Boario Terme is an excellent opportunity for your children and for you to travel back to the past of the inhabitants of Lake Iseo region and the Valcamonica valley and to experience the history of these people in a vey special way.
Once you enter the archeopark, you are in a new, poured and interactive outdoor museum. The park is built and managed by the archeologist Dr. Ausilio Priuli. Through a long study and a largely original reconstruction of the prehistoric settlements, which was realized on the basis of scientific facts, an impressive insight into the past is given and for YOU the possibility to “re-live” it for a day.

 It will show you impressively the history of the ancient Camunas, as well as the inhabitants of the Po Valley and of the Alps over the course of 15,000 years, and this on a site of approximately 100,000 square meters. There is much to discover in the natural landscape, between chestnut trees, between the slopes of the Monticolo rock and the flat, millet and lentil fields. Sometimes some goats follow you, and perhaps you or your children would like to take a break at the Neolitic farm.  Here they can interactively try out the tools for agriculture, such as for example a hoe or a scythe. You might want to pull a cart and get to know the everyday life of the first workmen.

As it must have looked around 4,000 years ago, you can see at the huts of the large pile village, which extends to the lake. The plank boats went between birds, reeds, and water lilies to the huts. You can go up the hill to conquer a castle or watch a fortified village as it was 3,000 years ago or climb up one of the tree houses.

In the Archeopark, for example, you can also explore a cave that gives you the feeling how the Camunas lived 10,000 years ago and painted their gods, animals, etc., and scratced it also into the rocks, and where you see some craftsmen working, like in this “living museum”. It is also interesting to cross a large labyrinth, reconstructed according to the rock drawings in Luine, Capodiponte and Cimbergo. These are just a few examples of what you can do in the Archeopark.

The special characteristics of this large park, which deals with a large “circle of topics”, is that you not only “visit”, but actively participate, as the visitors, under the direction of animators, can perform a series of activities in this “didactic laboratory” . Visitors can, for example, learn how to use a “drill”, light a fire, or learn how a loom works. For further information please call +39 0364529552
