The immersive sound experience, as a form of nature tourism, is in itself a rather uncommon activity. The choice of location for a sound walk, along the edge of a natural park, ensures a rich “sonodiversity” with evident seasonality.

It is an absolutely singular activity that, fortunately, is being developed in a region of Europe whose biodiversity greatly enhances it. From endemisms to seasonal changes, passing through the reproductive periods of a wide variety of species, sound walks in nature whisper—through birds, insects, mammals, amphibians and plants - the meaning of the words "life" and "communication"
