Rafting on Tare: aesthetics of extreme
Fans of Montenegro love white water rafting on Tara.
Like many natural treasures of these places, Tara is an object under the supervision of UNESCO. This purest river flows among the walls of the deepest canyon in Europe, which in the deepest place goes down by 1400 meters.
Rafting on Tara tourists tried in the sixties, using wooden rafts made according to the samples of local means of ferrying - indigenous Montenegrins transported various cargoes to them.
Further uncomplicated marketing of such an alloy consisted in the following: the number of tourists divided by the number of seats on the raft and padded to this figure the cost of food. The guides did not take much for their services, and the trip lasted from one to three days (depending on the route).
In the 90s there was an upgrade - instead of wooden rafts boats were used, and the fashion name rafting replaced the traditional rafting. Tours have become more diverse, now the program includes accommodation, and many tourists specifically go to rafting on Tara, spend the night in camping or wooden cottages. In principle, you can raft and unorganized - just rent a property in Montenegro, which will be most convenient for you (apartment, apartment , etc.), and pick up the ranger according to the situation.
You can get to the river yourself, but you can go to the starting point of rafting tours from the airport and use the services of entertainment organizers. Optimum, if you have agreed on everything in advance - good, modern means of communication give such an opportunity.
Curiously, the most ardent fans of extreme are the Russians. For them, rafting on Tara is a collective entertainment, but they do not advise you to ride without an instructor in any case.
There are several rules that are important to follow:
- Sit at the edge of the boat
- Firmly fix your feet, they should not hang out (it's better if they are rubber mounts)
- Row actively and properly keep the oars.
- Listen carefully to the commands of the boat manager. If the row was banned, stop right away - the whirlpools do not tolerate amateur performance.
- Do not panic - instructors always know what to do.
The best time for rafting on Tara is July-August, and fans of cold water and extreme can try to ride in autumn or spring. At this time it is easy to roll over, but for many such bathing is one of the significant parts of the program.
Children are better off not taking rafting on Tara. At least, up to ten years, this entertainment is too extreme.
Rest in Montenegro is so diverse that you will have time to raft along the river, and sunbathe on the beach, and see the sights.
