Gravina di Laterza,is a natural oasis inside the Regional Nature Park Terra delle Gravine. It is considered to be the most important example of karst landscape, a landscape that characterises a significant part of European land. The oasis covers an area of 800 hectares: it is 12 kilometres long and 500 metres large. It has a maximum depth of 200 metres. The whole area has been a protected area since 1984 and it has been managed by the Lipu, the Italian Association for the Protection of Birds, since 1999.

The Puglia Region is characterized by many forests and naturalistic sites. The National Park of Alta Murgia is an amazing example of both. The Alta Murgia National Park is home to Italy’s last example of the Mediterranean steppe. The position and the peculiarities of the National Park give travelers the chance to admire incredible landscapes at sunrise or sunset.

Torre Guaceto, located along the Adriatic coast of Alto Salento (Upper Salento), almost 30 kilometers away from Brindisi, is a nature reserve. It is divided into two parts and it covers an area of almost 1,200 hectares. It offers a typical Mediterranean landscape characterized by dunes, marshes, and a countryside full of centuries-old olive trees, which are a symbol of the agricultural tradition of Puglia.

The park, founded in 2006, covers an area that includes 12 municipalities on the coast of Salento, among which there is Andrano.

It offers different panoramic views: from the crystal-clear water of the Adriatic Sea to fields dotted with drystone walls and the mysterious caves of Castro.
