Know before you go

Point of departure: directly from your hotel in Tirana.
The Osum Canyons have been carved out over millennia by the Osum River and are located in the Berat region. These canyons have walls that reach as high as 150 m from the river and show the brilliant colours and layers of earth exposed by the timeless flow of the Osum.
The river varies in width, depth, and flow, but offers paddlers an interesting ride-particularly in spring, when the rains have increased water levels. Spectacular sights await you on this journey. No fewer than eight waterfalls cascade down, showcasing the raw power of the river. This unspoiled, unique place is truly a marvel. The waters run crystal clear off nearby Tomorri Mountain. The spiritual connection one feels with nature after traversing the canyon is difficult to explain, but many claim it has been a life-changing experience.
