Lalibela – the cultural capital of Ethiopia

The life in this dry region north of Addis is completely different. Rocks and stones every where. You will realise that water is a precious good! So it is not very interesting to travel in this region you might think. But you have to go there I can tell you. 

the famous rock-hewn church - bet giyorgis



The churches of Lalibela are unesco world heritage and were built in 12/13 century. For us tourists the churches and the landscape merge to a beautiful scene but for the most visitors it is a pilgrimage. The entrance fee is very high (I think we paid 50$ including guide for a 4h tour to all churches.) You will never forget this incredible place.
