Description
If you are looking for an adventure just a short 30 minute drive from the center of Tirana, this is the tour for you! Pellumbas Cave lies in the heart of Erzeni Canyon, with a beautiful 3km hiking trail from the small village of Pellumbas. This ancient cave system lies 500 meters above the Adriatic Sea. We will start this tour by driving from Tirana to Pellumbas. Once we arrive, we will grab a helmet and flashlight and start our hike through the canyon to the entrance of the cave. Black Cave is approximately 360 meters deep, with impressive stalagmites and stalactites dotted throughout the cave system. After we are finished admiring the beauty of Black Cave, we will then start our hike down to Erzeni River. This hike is not a hike for beginners, so we strongly recommend that only people with some hiking experience reserve this tour. The hiking path down to the river is entirely maintained by local volunteers and is challenging at times, which is why this hike is not recommended without being accompanied with an experienced tour guide. Once we reach the bottom of the canyon, we will have time to explore and swim in the beautiful crystal clear water of Erzeni River. The water is cold year-round, but it will be one of the most refreshing swims you will ever experience! After we have thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the canyon and everything is has to offer, we will then head back to the Village via the Erzeni Riverside Trail. This entire area is rich in biodiversity, including tortoises, snakes, wildflowers and medicinal plants such as sage and thyme. The hike back to the village will be easier than the hike down to the river, with stunning panoramic views and experiencing the beautiful serenity of the countryside of Tirana. Once we are back in the village of Pellumbas (our starting point), we will have time to have lunch with locally sourced food from local farms in the area. Lunch is optional. Afterwards, you will be driven back to your hotel/accommodation, which will complete this unforgettable adventure!Includes
