Explore the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela on a 3-day tour from Addis Ababa. Discover the UNESCO World Heritage site, hike to Mount Asheton, and visit the Yemrehanna Kristos church.

On day 1, fly to Lalibela and tour the magnificent rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This group of 11 monolithic and semi-monolithic structures were carved directly into the stone of the mountainside at least 800 years ago. This complex boasts the largest monolithic church in the world, a maze of passageways and tunnels, intricately carved reliefs, and fabulous examples of icon paintings.

On day 2, take a morning hike with mules to Mount Asheton, with its 13th-century rock-hewn monastery and great views of the town. Alternatively, drive to Yemrehanna Kristos, a beautiful church situated in a shallow cave that predates the churches of Lalibela. The drive to Yemrehanna will also give you the opportunity to view the rural countryside and villages of the Ethiopian highlands. Following either option, continue with a tour of Lalibela’s churches in the afternoon.

On day 3, return to Addis Ababa via Ethiopian Airlines. Opt for a half-day city tour of Addis Ababa with an evening cultural dinner. Transfer to the airport for a late-night departure if needed.
