Continue with the iconic Theth–Valbona Pass hike, one of the Balkans’ most scenic trekking routes, before enjoying a stunning boat trip through the Shala River, often called “the Albanian Thailand.”
In the south, explore the UNESCO cities of Berat and Gjirokastra, the Osum Canyon, and the untamed Vjosa River, where you’ll go rafting in one of Europe’s last wild waterways. The adventure continues with hiking in Nivica Canyon, a visit to the spectacular Peshtura Waterfall, and a refreshing swim near Brataj Bridge.
