Tour description

.

Day 1. We depart Sarajevo and travel to the Tunnel of Hope Museum, a poignant underground passage that was a lifeline during the city's siege in the 1990s. We then journey to Travnik to explore its imposing Ottoman-era fortress, dating back to the 15th century, and enjoy the scenic Lasva River. After that, we will come to Jajce for accommodation.

.

Day 2. After staying in Jajce, we explore the town's unique natural wonder, the Jajce waterfall, where the Pliva River plunges directly into the Vrbas. We visit the historic medieval fortress, stroll through its charming historical center (UNESCO Tentative List Site), and relax in its scenic park. We stay another night in Jajce.

.

Day 3. After 2 nights in Jajce, we travel to Scit to visit its serene Franciscan (Roman Catholic) monastery, a key spiritual and cultural center, and its insightful museum. Our journey continues south to the iconic city of Mostar to explore its famous historical center (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the reconstructed 16th-century Stari Most (Old Bridge). We will stay in Mostar.

Day 4. After an overnight in Mostar, we travel to the enchanting Ottoman-era hill town of Pocitelj (UNESCO Tentative List Site), renowned for its preserved stone architecture. We then visit the magnificent Kravica waterfalls, a natural amphitheater of cascades on the Trebizat River. Our day continues to Medjugorje, a world-renowned Roman Catholic pilgrimage center since 1981. After that, we will return to Mostar for accommodation.

.

Day 5. After staying in Mostar, we take a short drive to Blagaj to visit the stunning Dervish monastery (Tekija) (UNESCO Tentative List Site), a 16th-century Sufi (Islamic) retreat dramatically built at the source of the emerald Buna River. We then visit the remarkable medieval stecci (tombstone) necropolis at Radimlja (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Our final stop is the ancient hilltop fortress at Stolac (UNESCO Tentative List Site). Afterwards, we will come to Trebinje for accommodation.

Day 6. After staying in Trebinje, we travel to Tvrdos to explore its Serbian Orthodox monastery, originally founded in the 15th century, and sample local wines at its winery.

Tour style

.

This tour is focused on cultural and historical aspects of visited countries, exploring well-known destinations as well as off-the-beaten-path hidden gems.

.

We, at Monterrasol Travel, practice the Slow Tourism philosophy. That means that we work our tours at a pace that allows our clients to have a more authentic experience and a true exploration of each destination we visit. We dismiss the stress, the rush, the tight schedules, and the crazy running from spot to spot, especially related to bus travel package tours for large groups.

.

We love to travel in a relaxed, not hurried, way. All our tours have been designed with that key idea in mind, and we try to keep a balance between the places scheduled to be visited and free time to take a break. Also, we do not like to keep our clients in the car for a long time on the way between itinerary points, just a fair amount of time.
