$2,151 + airfare
Rada Perovic, resident of Golden, born in Montenegro, will be your host for a two week excursion to this unspoiled Mediterranean and mountain paradise.
Montenegro, with a population of 730,000 and area of 5,300 square miles, gained independence in May, 2006 and has the distinction of being one of the world’s newest countries.
We will begin our journey on the coast, where beautiful beaches meet the crystal clear azure water of the Adriatic Sea. From our base in the old Medieval Town of Budva, we will explore the 15th century fortresses and other towns and quaint villages along the coast. We will hike on coastal trails, spend time on the beach and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Montenegrin people while exploring the culture and the history of the region.
We will then journey to the mountainous interior, where 7,000 foot peaks rocket up from sea level, creating stunning canyons, deep valleys, and dense pine and fir forests surrounding alpine lakes, known locally as “mountain eyes”. We will visit four National Parks: Lovcen, Biogradska Gora, Durmitor and Skadar Lake. In addition to the hiking excursions, there will be a 2-day rafting trip down the Tara River, referred to as “The Jewel of Europe”. While hiking, you will often encounter sheep herder’s settlements, where you will experience people who provide the friendliest hospitality on earth. Near the end of the trip, we will spend a night in a small village near Podgorica, where Rada’s family originated and will have a celebration at their old stone house, which dates back nearly 200 years.
The cost of the trip includes all ground transportation in Montenegro, lodging, most meals, 2 days of river Tara rafting, guides, all parks and museums fees, leader expenses, and the CMC outing fee. Final cost may vary depending on currency exchange issues. Montenegro uses the Euro as the currency of exchange. Hikes will be 2 to 8 miles long and up to 2500 feet elevation gain. The number of participants is 10-12.
