Information for Travelers
Ethiopia is a rugged landlocked country in the Horn of Africa, through which the Great Rift Valley passes.
It's a cross between the ultimate holiday of a package supporter and a history buff's Shangri-La.
It has also maintained a medieval feel through ancient Christian rituals, while showing the ancient obelisks and tombs of Aksum.
The landscape of this wonderful country is no less varied with lakes, rivers, rocky mountains, grasslands and plains.
On top of that, with incredible wildlife, remarkable tribal people, delicious food and wonderful weather.
But make no mistake, this is not just a vacation destination.
Ethiopia will move you, inspire you and be a journey you will never forget.
Culture
Culturally speaking, there are seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ethiopia.
You'll also have the chance to look back into a more recent and turbulent past, as evidenced by derelict and burned-out Russian tanks.
With archaeological finds dating back more than 3 million years, the region has a rich millenary culture.
The most important sites include the rock-hewn Christian churches in Lalibela from the 12th to 13th centuries.
Aksum contains the ruins of an ancient city with obelisks, tombs, castles and the church of Saint Mary of Zion.
