The Soča Valley was one of the highlights of my trip to Slovenia. I originally planned my visit around hiking the Soča Trail and exploring the ruggedly beautiful Julian Alps near Bovec. However, once there, I quickly realised that the valley offers so much more than hiking trails…

In this guide, I'll share my experience hiking the Soča Trail, including seasonal bus routes, trail conditions, and whether it's worth adding to your Slovenia itinerary.

If you're looking for an easy walk in Bovec after rain, or wondering what to do on a rainy day in the Soča Valley, the Slap Virje trail is a great option. The waterfall is a lovely experience, the route is straightforward, and it can easily be completed in an afternoon.

As the longest gorge in Europe, Samaria Gorge is approximately 16km long and not one to be done in flip-flops or Converse shoes. It’s a challenging route with a rocky terrain, and your feet may not be so forgiving by the end of it

Whether you're a day hiker looking to get a taste of the Peruvian Andes or a trekker on a mission to do the Santa Cruz trail, Huaraz, the trekking capital of Peru has a little something for everyone...

Speaking to my hostel's reception, they recommended heading to the markets in Pisac. I wasn't sure but as the collectivo stop was right around the corner, I thought why not ponder around the markets on a gorgeous day.
