Peter Hoogstaden

Route: Cilento National Park

This route was designed by Dutch-born, Salerno-based adventure tour operator Peter Hoogstaden.

As a professional landscape planner, Peter was involved with drawing up the statutory land use plans for Agerola and Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Here, for the first time anywhere in southern Italy, he marked the ancient network of footpaths in the area, turning these into significant tourism assets, such as the now famous ‘Sentiero degli Dei’ (‘Path of the Gods’).

Passionate about the ancient pedestrian route network all over southern Italy, Peter is today leading efforts to help visitors discover some of the less well-trodden paths. His route in the Cilento National Park is a perfect example: beautiful, uncrowded, and traditionally Italian to its core.
