The raft slips into the Tara like a bold question; the current answers in whitewater. For four hours you ride the river through one of Europe’s deepest canyons, framed by limestone cliffs and forests that press close enough to hear branches scrape. Guides brief the group at a riverside camp, hand out helmets and life jackets, then the convoy of rafts launches from Brštanovica into a sequence of rapids and quiet pools where the water runs so clear it tastes like a dare.
