Etara - the finest open air museum in Bulgaria! Suitable for kids of all ages (0-100+). A very nice and concentrated example of crafts, arts and architecture standing just 15 minutes away from the World's Capital of Humour and Satire - Gabrovo.

The foggy and rainy weather makes it a bit more comfortable for a sip of coffee brewed on sand ;)

A century old event in the World's Capital of Humour and Satire - Gabrovo.
Influenced by all kinds of global and local events, the people behind the making always find a creative way to have fun and joke with the topics.

Tradition that lives and grows as one of the main events in Bulgaria - The Gabrovo Carnival.

Patience, dedication and willingness to show both our language and land - this is what makes it real :)

Kovachevitsa and Leshten, two places where time ⏱️ has somehow slowed its temp. Hundreds of years hidden behind stone walls, laying under stone roofs, saved by the spirit and craftsmanship of the locals, and nowadays a romantic getaway that can shift your gear just for a weekend. We had the chance to touch the ambience and enjoy fine moments with our wonderful group of students, coming from all over the globe 🌍, eager to learn Bulgarian. 🇧🇬

21/02/2023

It has been a great weekend and it feels like we're still IN.
Fantastic people, positive energy, amazing weather and a lovely experience sharing our local language with a multinational group! :)
Thanks to all of you that made it happen!

Sharing a few photos from the trip to Dobrinishte and Bezbog hut :)

Hello, World!

We are Rupicabra 🐐 and would like to say "Hi!" to all our present and future friends.
In short, "Rupicabra Bulgarica" Ltd. is a licensed tour operator, based and operating in Bulgaria. Owned by Ivan Kasabov, a travel professional with 13+ years in tourism and MICE industry, inspired and supported by a growing community of local guides, small family businesses and fellow travel lovers.

The whole idea behind the name we will try to describe by sharing our 9 core pillars:

( R ) esponsible – We love our land and we care about all the beauties that it gives to us. We also admire all those small and tiny businesses trying their best to operate in whatever challenge life brings. With our tailor-made programs, we push forward to integrating as much as possible from both nature and local people in order to shape the best customer experience.

( U ) nique – Every person is unique. Therefore, the tours that every traveler takes should be unique as well. Our vision is to generate individual combinations and itineraries for everybody.

( P ) ersonal – In times of mass robotization we strive to be as human as possible. Always approaching personally and always here for a local and friendly support.

( I ) ndependent – We aim to provide our customers an experience that brings a feeling of being free. To choose own way and pace. Just like a wild goat.

( C ) ustom – Shaping itineraries according to every traveler’s wish. Always happy to give a hint or two and make it special with additional tips.

( A ) rtisanal – Creating travel programs is a craftsmanship. We are proud to have been in the sector for good thirteen years, and to prep our hands and minds for this craft named tourism. During the years, we have learned that a good trip has to be:

( B ) alanced – Like a nice dish, a trip needs the right mixture of ingredients, but not more and not less.

( R ) ecreational – Everybody needs some relaxation and time off the duty.

( A ) ctive – We do appreciate lazy days at the beach with a cocktail, but further than that we always tend to make it more adventurous by climbing a few (hundred) steps for “that view”!

Let's get together and travel like a Rupicabra!
