Description

A complete traverse of the entire Cinque Terre region.  The idea is to do Alta Via (the high trail) but then drop down to all 5 towns and back up to Alta via before getting to the next one. The Alta Via is the historical trail connecting towns.  Some guidelines on the route:

-The end points are Portovenere and the train station at Monterosso.

-Dropping down to Riomaggiore and Manarola you should go to the water's edge.

-At Corniglia you should visit the terrazza panoramica di Santa Maria
