LOCATION

Known as the ‘Tear of Europe’ for its crystal clear, turquoise waters, the Tara River snakes 150 km across Montenegro from the Komovi Mountains in the east to its confluence with the Piva in the north west. For 80km the river descends into the depths of the Tara Canyon, which at 1333m is the second deepest canyon in world after the Grand Canyon. The gorge is protected as part of Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its exceptional scenic beauty, fascinating geological heritage and impressive diversity of flora and fauna. A venture into the canyon not only feels like a step back in time but a leap into the wilderness. 

 

Situated in the heart of the canyon, TaraSUP training grounds at Kamp Tara-Top are the ideal setting for total immersion in nature. With class I - III rapids and hiking trails galore located in our backyard, it’s the perfect place to provide adrenalin and fun filled activities while being completely surrounded by breathtaking landscape. If you’re looking to challenge yourself on the ultimate adventure or just seek an idyllic escape, join us on one of our Tours and Courses and take a different perspective.
