Danilo Palmieri is an expert and passionate guide of the Cilento region. Born in Castellabate in 1986, from a young age he has cultivated a deep connection with nature, exploring trails, practicing trail running, and dedicating himself to nature photography.
His passion for hiking led him to earn significant qualifications, becoming in 2012 a National Hiking Guide (AEN – Accompagnatore Escursionista Nazionale) from the Italian Hiking Federation and in 2018 a Hiking Guide (AE – Accompagnatore Escursionistico) from the Italian Alpine Club. In 2016, along with a group of friends, he founded the Cilento Trail Trek association to unite hiking enthusiasts and share his love for the mountains and the sea.
After a work experience in Trentino-Alto Adige, Danilo returned to his homeland, becoming an Environmental Hiking Guide (GAE) and joining the AIGAE (Italian Association of Environmental Hiking Guides) in the Campania region. His goal is to bring as many people as possible closer to the mountains and nature.
Mount Tresino is the place where Danilo has grown professionally, and he is always happy to share his knowledge and love for this mountain. Through the restoration of old trails and the discovery of local history through still-living witnesses, Danilo aims to enhance and preserve the territory.
His main mission is to introduce people to the wonders of Cilento, which include breathtaking landscapes, charming historic centers, pristine environments, crystal-clear waters, local dishes and traditions, as well as the culture and history of the region. His motto is “if you can breathe… then you can do anything,” emphasizing the importance of experiencing the land with respect and gratitude, because the beauty of nature is a treasure shared by all of us.
