About
The Lengarica Canyon stretches about 5 km along the Lengarica River near Përmet, ending at the Ottoman-era Kadiu Bridge. Its limestone walls rise up to 150 metres and narrow to just a few metres in places, with caves dotting the cliffs. The canyon is a popular spot for river hiking within the Vjosa valley landscape.
