Highlights
This tour combines the cultural highlights of Lalibela with hiking in beautiful nature with stunning views of the Lasta Mountains. The surrounding area of Lalibela offers superb hiking, including Abune Josef Mountain, the third highest peak in Ethiopia. Nestled on a plateau, Lalibela Hudad is a world in itself. The Hudad Lodge is a great place to stay and use as a base to explore the area. A hidden Eden with great views and a superb variety of animals, birds, and plant life. Accessible only by foot, community-run, built in traditional style with local materials, solar powered, and all waste products recycled, the lodge showcases local sustainable and ecological tourism at its’ best.
Nowhere else can you find the form of rock churches so typical of Ethiopia in this concentration and quality as in Lalibela. A play of light and shadow, color and shape, often referred to by many as one of the "Living Wonders of the World," will keep you amazed.

After a rest, you will explore Addis Ababa, a city of contrasts, with modern skyscrapers next to corrugated iron huts, donkey and horse carts next to modern means of transport, and colorful traditional markets next to supermarkets.

A colorful mix of modern and traditional city life.Lalibela
