What to expect

The adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Tirana. After approximately 40 minutes of driving, we reach the village of Pellumbas. From here, we set off on a scenic hike along trails overlooking the Erzen Canyon and its surroundings. The hike takes about 40 minutes, depending on the group’s pace. We then continue with an exploration of Pellumbas Cave, where the fascinating stalactites and stalagmites leave a lasting impression. Afterward, we descend to the Erzen Canyon, a place of stunning natural beauty with several crystal-clear pools where you can enjoy swimming and relaxing in the fresh waters. Your journey concludes at Petrela Castle, an emblematic fortress where history comes alive, offering spectacular panoramic views. For those seeking extra adventure, it is also possible to experience the zipline at Petrela Castle — one of the longest in the Balkan region. We return to Tirana around 5:00 PM, after a day rich in adventure, activities, and cultural discoveries.
