Day 1

Arrival to Andes

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Albania! The week was well-planned with every detail thoughtfully considered. The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. We loved having an Albanian guide who facilitated conversation with locals—she seemed to know everyone, it fostered an authentic travel experience. Our days were full of stunning mountains and waterfalls and our evenings with delicious food and good company. We would definitely travel with Forward Explorations again!
