Lalibela is renowned for its beautifully sculpted rock-cut churches, which were constructed under the reign of King Lalibela. These churches, with their history dating back at least 900 years, continue to be a lively Christian shrine and are at the heart of the nation’s religious activities. Yemrehane Kristos, situated 45km north of Lalibela, is a church crafted within a natural underwater cave, approximately 100 years prior to the establishment of Lalibela’s churches. En route to Yemrehane Kristos, you get the chance to immerse yourself in the lifestyle of the Ethiopian highland community. Experience the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, given that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and attend a church service in one of Lalibela’s churches.
