Rural Tirana: caves and canyons

Program itinerary:

Meet with your private guide in your hotel lobby and continue driving to Pellumbas village. From the center of the village we prepare to hike for around two hours to the Pellumbas Cave (Black Cave). The path goes along Erzeni river, with clear blue waters and canyons. For adventurous people there are natural pools to take a swim. After 2 km walking we arrive at the entrance of the cave. The cave has a length of 360 m with a width which can vary between 10–15 m and a vertical range of 45 m. The importance of the complex is due to the remains of ancient human culture which belongs back to the Paleolithic age. Inside the cave you will be able to enjoy beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Also there is the chance to see bats.

After the visit of the cave, we head back to the village through a wonderful trail with amazing landscapes.

Back at Pellumbas village we will enjoy a traditional meal at a local restaurant. After lunch drive back to Tirana.
