What the National Tourism Agency establishes
AKT lists Lengarica Canyon among Përmet’s primary attractions, alongside the Bënja Thermal Springs, City Stone, and Kadiu Bridge. The same document establishes one concrete relationship: the baths lie along the Lengarica River, right at the entrance to the canyon.
So two facts you can quote without hesitation: the canyon carries its name in the official list, and its entrance is where the thermal baths sit.
Terrain details at Bënjë — access, timing, conduct — are on the place profile ↗.
The dimensions missing from the record
Lengths, wall heights, and cave counts circulate across travel blogs, but no official source — neither AKT nor a cited Albanian Wikipedia article — publishes a canyon length, wall heights, or a cave inventory. This piece does not repeat those figures.
The same holds for a riverbed crossing season: no official source defines safe months for walking through the water. Anyone planning to enter the canyon does so on their own responsibility, with fresh local information.
How to read this place
The canyon is part of the same landscape as Bënjë: the same river, the same entrance, the same absence of guaranteed services. A visit is planned as a visit to an unsupervised natural setting — not an attraction with hours and infrastructure.
For the full picture of the area, the article on the Benja thermal baths ↗ covers the water, the bridge, and the limits of the data.
