Apuseni Experience is not just an ecotourism business, but a passion and a way of life.
We have been around in the Apuseni Mountains since 1994, when we first started to discover them as young people, taking our first trips in the great outdoors.
Their nature and people played a significant role in our development as human beings, and we are grateful for that. As members of various local NGOs, we developed several projects aimed to protect their amazing
nature and authentic local culture. Most of us are still involved as volunteers or consultants in this kind of projects.
