But the best part of this holiday is that you can create your own itinerary day-by-day, adventure by awesome adventure.
Your holiday will begin in the stunning mountainous region of Slovenia, more precisely at El lago Bled, the country’s most famous landmark. In addition to seeing all the main attractions, you'll be able to choose between various destinations and activities in and around Bled. From ciclismo o horse-ridinga senderismo through a magnificent gorge or embarque de remos... on Lake Bled itself. And for a dose of adrenaline, there’s tirolesa above a beautiful river valley and an adventure park overlooking Lake Bled.
From Bled we’ll take you to another fantastic glacial lake called Lago Bohinj, where more super fun activities await. Taking a cable car up to El Monte Vogel will present you with jaw-dropping views of the Alps and a chance to walk down an educational trail high in the mountains. You can go kayak down a crystal-clear alpine river, senderismo in a lovely gorge or ciclismo through an amazing nearby valley. If you’ve never been barranquismo, this is your perfect opportunity. It involves climbing, jumping, ziplining, and abseiling along a stream inside an ancient gorge. Whatever your preference, we’ve got you covered.
From high in the Alps to the Adriatic coast and the sunlit Karst. For the next leg of your adventure, we’ll take you to the vibrant seaside town of Portorozzo. The drive there is quick, but it feels like being teleported to a completely different country.

On a trip to the Slovenian Karst, you’ll explore the most incredible cave in the world and visit a medieval castle built within a rocky cliff. And when all your other senses will have been fully satisfied, a gourmet tour will give your taste buds an adventure of their own.
