Ethiopia

From the top of the sublime Ethiopian plateaus, follow in the footsteps of the first men and let yourself be captivated by fascinating encounters.

Considered one of humanity's cradles, Ethiopia offers an unparalleled diversity of landscapes. With its lush plains, desert expanses, and multiple mountain ranges, this vast West African country will satisfy any traveler. These lands of contrasts are also the heirs of a breathtaking patrimony. Lalibela, a monastic town located on the Ethiopian heights, is home to a staggering set of eleven churches carved into the rock. Further west, find medieval castles, fortifications, and palaces in the ancient imperial city of Gondar. In between the mountains, the volcanic lakes of the Rift Valley, are a natural wonder not to be missed. As you walk through the sumptuous Mago National Park, meet the Mursi, a semi-nomadic tribe from West Africa. Immerse yourself in the heart of fascinating traditions and customs on the charming banks of the Omo River. In the capital, smell the delicious scents of Ethiopian coffee beans and mitmita, a typical spice blend, in the aisles of Mercato. The streets of Addis Ababa may take you to the National Museum of Ethiopia, a great place to learn more about the country's cultural and archaeological heritage.
