Samegrelo
Uncharted Jungles & Rivers
Don't get trapped on a sanitized tourist bus when you could be exploring the lush, untamed jungles of Samegrelo. This is a fertile, rolling area where the clearest rivers in Georgia rush down from rugged slopes on their way to the sea. Stepping off the paved roads reveals towering waterfalls and quiet beaches that the mainstream crowds ignore.
Spicy Megrelian Feasts
The Megrelian people speak their own language and live with an infectious, epicurean enthusiasm. While most tourists eat overpriced, mediocre food in the center of town, our days end around village tables piled high with feasts. Megrelian food is lavishly flavored with the real, raw spices of their gardens, featuring dishes you simply cannot find anywhere else.
Alpine Tobavarchkhili Lake
The terrain here is broad and diverse, waiting for you to get your boots muddy. We can paddle a rowboat through the massive, pristine swamps of the Kolkheti Reserve where water buffaloes bathe lazily by the seaside. If you crave a genuine physical challenge, the trails leading up to the isolated Tobavarchkhili Lake offer an alpine secret tucked away in the clouds.
Balda Canyon Hidden Paths
I know the hidden secrets of this region because I have driven the dirt roads and walked the forgotten trails. We can explore the clear waters of Balda Canyon or soak in the outdoor hot springs of Nokalakevi. Tell me what kind of adventure you are looking for, and we will hit the dirt to experience the true character of Samegrelo.
