MONTENEGRO

We didn't plan to love Montenegro as much as we did. Coming straight off Albania, we weren't sure anything could top it — we were wrong. In six days we rafted through Europe's deepest canyon, drove 25 white-knuckle hairpin turns up a mountain, wandered medieval streets in Kotor, and stumbled upon a hidden waterfall almost nobody knows about. All of it on a budget. This is how we did it.
