    Never had such an amazing experience on a bike tour. The charm of the Caffarella Valley is still fresh in my senses. This amazing park had so much to offer. If you are a nature lover and in Rome, then this one should be definitely on your list. It will not just let you experience this beautiful location, but much more about the history and legends of this City.
