Lalibela is most famous for its rock-hewn churches, the incredible architectural feat that makes the town a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are the most popular destinations for travelers visiting Ethiopia. What is less known is that beyond those awe-inspiring sights, there is much to be discovered. You can find more treasures in the highlands that loom behind the town. Hiking in Lalibela is a fantastic way to see the mountains and the villagers who work and live there.
Upon the plateau called Abune Yoseph hordes of Gelada Baboons are running freely, it is also one of the best places in Ethiopia for spotting many different birds from eagles to bearded vultures and many more and, not to be forgotten: the Ethiopian Wolf lives up here too. So, altogether it is a great combination of exploring the beauty of the Ethiopian landscape like on top of the world with learning about the real Ethiopian culture from the people itself and seeing absolutely rare animals. The great thing about these tours is also the starting point right in Lalibela. Adefa Tours will combine a city tour of the Rock churches, and a few days trekking to the Lasta Mountains.
