Entering the heart of the ancient Ethiopia
The North itinerary includes the principal historical and archeological sites of the century. This is the ancient Royal Kingdom of Abyssinia, the cradle of Orthodox Christianity where hundreds of churches and monasteries were sculpted straight from the rock, sometimes perched at an altitude of dozens of metres.
The road that leaves Addis Abeba to meet up with the lands of the North crosses various valleys and traverses the Simiens National Park, a mountain massif which shelters various endemic animal species. For trekking enthusiasts, it is easy to observe these at close quarters.
