Descrição
Discover Kirkos Monastery and Wonchi Crater Lake on a day trip from Addis Ababa. Enjoy a local family lunch, learn about kocho preparation, and hike to the crater lake.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel or residence in Addis Ababa by a woman driver. Meet your woman guide and review the day’s plan. Arrive at Kirkos Monastery area after about 1.5–2 hours, depending on traffic and exact start point.
Take a short hike or walk to the monastery. Enjoy a guided tour and explanation of the site, history, and religious practices. Next, depart Kirkos and drive toward Wonchi Crater Lake area. Stop for a restroom or refreshment break en route as needed.
Arrive at Wonchi crater rim village. Have lunch with a local family featuring Ethiopian dishes (injera/ wat, tibs or other stews) or a picnic you bring. After lunch, meet local women who will demonstrate and involve you in kocho preparation (the enset-based flatbread).
Learn how enset is scraped, fermented dough handled, shaped, and cooked on a mitad or open pan. Afterward, take a guided hike down to the crater lake. Alternatively, arrange a horse for descent/ascent if available and you prefer.
