Native Planet Adventures Proudly Presents:
"Corsica: The Isle of Beauty"
October 9-17, 2008

Ride the beautiful island where Napoleon was born, the pride a French and Corsican people!

Our exclusive modular itinerary allows cyclists of different levels to enjoy the tour together. To ensure the best scenery, we change hotels daily so a minimum distance and elevation must be ridden each day (Table 1). After that, you can choose to relax on the beach, sip a chestnut beer in the mountains—or to fulfill your quest for Corsican adventure by adding an optional climb to your ride!
