Our first destination for today will be the ancient cave of Pellumbas, located uphill at the heart of Erezini Canyon. 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. Have some free time to relaxing after this hiking experience. After, 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.
