Description

One week in the heart of Ukraine, in its most authentic and traditional West!

One week full of extremes and adrenaline: plunge into the underworld of Cave Mlynky (Ukraine's least accessible karst cave), pass the rapids of Black Cheremosh (Ukraine's toughest white-water rafting spot), hike Mt Hoverla (Ukraine's highest peak of 2061 m), cycle the mountain roads in Carpathians.

One week full of local traditions and culture: enjoy the traditional lifestyle of Ukrainian mountainous people, the honesty and warm welcome from the local villagers. Become a little bit Ukrainian, and immerse yourself in the daily life of people: eat borshch with a family in Lviv, learn to play Hutsul music instruments, or go berry picking in the Carpathians.

Absorb yourself in the pre-modern world with horse-driven carts, home-made bread, centuries-old traditions and enjoy the Europe, as it used to be!
