- Benja Thermal Baths - The Langarica canyon is surrounded by the forests and mountains of Dangelli and Shqeri and joins further the Vjosa River. The natural panorama along the Langarica canyon is stunning and untouched by the human hand. It changes through the seasons and gives a colorful and expressive scenery of the nature in this area. Inside the canyon there are many caves, a variety of trees and aromatic bushes, and thermal springs formed by sulfur waters which stream from the caves.

Albania Rafting presents the finest Albanian expedition on the Vjosa River, one of the last remaining unobstructed rivers in Europe. It’s a class II rafting experience with some class III rapids. Brace yourself for up to four-foot waves and close quarters that make the boat wiggle and the water flood over the edges. The entire 270km journey of the Vjosa river is raw, uncontrolled, and adorned with beautiful canyons, intertwined river sections, isles, and oxbows.
