Our first major stop will be at the Enguri Dam, one of the highest arch dams in the world, standing at 271.5 meters. After that, we will continue toward Upper Svaneti, an exceptional mountain region famous for its breathtaking landscapes, well-preserved villages, unique defensive tower houses, and remarkable examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture and art.

On the last day of your trip, it’s time to drive back to Tbilisi. But don’t worry about the long journey — we have some special stops planned along the way. One of the highlights is Martvili Canyon, a breathtaking natural site with numerous waterfalls and striking sky-blue waters. Here, you will have the opportunity to take a boat trip and enjoy the stunning views of the canyon, making the journey back just as memorable as the adventure itself.
