- Kanionet e Erzenit - Our first destination for today will be the ancient cave of Peullmbas, located uphill at the heart of Erezini Canyo
- The Cave of Pellumbas - Initially this ancient cave used to offer shelter to wild bears, about 40,000 years ago. After this, the cave became home for ancient humans dating back to the Midd Palaeolithic era (circa 30,000 years ago). During the First and Second World War, the cave was used as a hiding place for the locals of the surrounding villages. The cave portrays a long history and is nowadays an interesting and beautiful place to visit. Some people describe it as a once in a lifetime experience. This destination offers an amazing view of wild mountains, valleys, Erzeni river and Erzeni Canyon. The hiking to the rock on the Cave of Pellumbas takes about 1 hour one way, elevation up to 600 meters. The entrance of the Pellumbas cave has a wooden platform, so it is easy to take a moment to soak in the area.
- Tirana - After this hiking experience, we will be back to Tirana. This marks the end of this amazing hiking experience. You will return home with a new sense of self excitement to share with those around you.

Nice walk in nature, with a swim in a beautiful river! - We had a great experience on our tour with our guide Elvin. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the Landscape and history of Albania. He took us on a nice hike to a cave, then down to the river for a swim! Would definitely recommend and do it again 😊

Wonderful Adventure - Fun, Adventurous, Adrenaline-Inducing trip with friendly, knowledgeable guide Ana. Breathtaking views from our hike + with a furry friend (the local dog). The cave was awesome and we even had the opportunity to swim in the canyon. Ana answered all our questions with extensive detail and local knowledge along the trail. Plenty of photo opportunities, nice transport and car. Good communication with Choose Balkan. Would definitely recommend to anyone, amazing way to experience the beautiful countryside of this wonderful country from Tirana! 🇦🇱

Excellent! - It was great hiking with amazing views. The best part for me was the waterfall, as we were not expecting to see it. Ervin was very supportive and knowledgeable! Thank you for the great experience!

Great tour, well organised, and a wonderful guide. Recommended! - We had a great day - our guide Ani was fun, intelligent and interesting and went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. It’s a good workout to the cave and back - good walking shoes recommended. Sadly we couldn’t swim in the river but it was worth seeing and the views overall were spectacular. Definitely recommend!

Fun hike, amazing views, great tour guide! - Our tour guide was Eri. On our drive to and during the hike we had great time with him. We had great talks and lots of laughs! He made us feel safe during the hike and was very informative. We were positively surprised when he helped us take some gorgeous pictures.
The hike is very doable but I suggest good shoes, enough water, a cap and maybe pants that could get dirty.
The views are breath taking and make for great memories and pictures!

10/10 would recommend. - This was a great adventure so close to Tirana. The hike is really beautiful and scenic. It's also a pretty exciting hike as your are constantly going up the mountains - so not a dull moment. My guide Ani was fun to chat with, knew a lot about the area and the cave we were going to. He was patient and attentive and made the experience memorable. Loved the cave. It was spectacular (beautiful colors, stones, bats inside), but kind of muddy on the day I went, so I recommend people bring good shoes when doing this hike. Also because you need to not slip when coming down the mountain. Some areas are steep. You really break a sweat going to Pellumbas cave. It's a workout. So the stop at the Erzeni river was much appreciated. The colors of the river are magnificent - the most lovely blue. Overall an awesome experience.

Really unique! - Communication from the company and the tour guide was great. The tour guide was definitely knowledgeable and gave us plenty of info throughout the day. There was no one else with us on the tour so it was private.
We really enjoyed the hike to the cave and the time spent inside the cave was a very unique and interesting experience. You definitely need good walking boots as it can be a bit muddy/slippy, and also steep in places. Also take plenty of water as it is quite a workout!
Our trip would have been improved in the Erenzi canyon part of the day, it was definitely warm enough to go in the water so was a shame we didn't get the opportunity to swim in the river. We also didn't get to go to the part that is advertised which is a shame. Was still very pretty though and we still had a really good day!
