Experience the 12th century UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE stone-carved churches of Lalibela through our adaptable and expert tour services.
The dynamic stone-carved churches from the 12th Century draw countless visitors and are sometimes deemed the 8th wonder of the world. Arranging this unique tour that lets our customers learn about the hidden treasures of Ethiopia is what we passionately love to do.
The churches, hewn from a slanted mass of red volcanic scoria underpinned by dark grey basalt and interconnected by a network of tunnels and passages with entrances to hermit caves and catacombs, present an impression of an underground town.
Expect to explore all churches of Lalibela while delving into Ethiopian history.
