Lalibela

Day 1: Fly to Lalibela Take an early morning flight from Addis Ababa to Lalibela (approximately 1 hours), where you will stay for one nights. Despite the town of Lalibela being isolated in the Lasta Mountains at 2,630 metres above sea level, it is still the home of Ethiopia’s top sight, and one of the world’s greatest historical and religious sites. Between 1137 and 1270, several astounding rock-hewn churches were constructed in Lalibela; astonishing because most are not built from carved freestanding rocks, but instead created from huge single blocks of stone unearthed by the digging of enormous pits. You will spend two afternoons exploring the extraordinary churches that look like they’ve been dropped down from the sky. The Northern Group contains seven churches, a tomb, a chapel and a sunken chapel. At the centre of the group is Bet MedhaneAlem, measuring 33.5 metres by 23.5 metres and said to be the largest rock-hewn church in the world.
