The territory of the Cinque Terre extends between Punta Mesco and Punta di Montenero, in the Ligurian Riviera of Levante, in the province of La Spezia, the provincial capital connected by the railway line. On this stretch of coast, narrow by the mountains that drop down to the sea, there are five characteristic villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso
The area also includes the Cinque Terre National Park, which includes the coast and the protected marine area – crossed in its length by the “Blue Path” – within which you can also see peregrine falcons, badgers, weasels and martens.
