Itinerary

Here is an example of what a Bosnian adventure itinerary looks like flying into Zagreb:

Upon arrival in Bosnia, we will pick you up and transfer you to our first accommodation in the city of Bihać. This city is known for its large quantity of cultural and historical landmarks that showcase the rich history of the area, and it is surrounded by bright blue lakes and gorgeous nature.

After an afternoon of sightseeing, taking in all Bihać has to offer, we will enjoy our first Bosnian meal.

Day 2:

After breakfast, we will depart from our accommodation to go on a rafting adventure through the UNESCO world heritage site in the Una National Park, along the Una River. The upper streams of the Una River feature beautiful multi-tiered waterfalls that are an important spot for biodiversity, and we will be able to take in all the unspoilt nature here.

This is an all-day trip which will include a stop for drinks and ice cream on the return to camp.

Day 3:

Today we will have an early departure after breakfast to head towards the small town of Jajce to visit the AVNOJ museum that showcases the history of Yugoslavia and we will learn how it was created.
