Melka Kuntre, Adadi Mariam, Tiya and Langano

Description

Day 01: Addis Ababa – Langano via Butajira 220 km 3 hours.

We pick you from your hotel after breakfast and leave Addis Ababa to the south through the fertile rolling hills. After about an hour drive we arrive at the prehistoric site of Melka Kunture. Half an hour further south the rock-hewn church of Adadi Maryam is found, build in the same style as the famous contemporaries in Lalibela. Somewhere you will have picnic lunch or local hotel.

From Adadi Maryam it is about half an hour drive to Tiya where mysterious stelae are found, most probably grave markers. From Tiya it is about 1hour to Langano where we arrive late afternoon.

Day 02: Langano – Addis Ababa, 200 km 3 hour.

We are enjoying the morning leisure at Lake Langano. If you are interested, it is possible to visit Lake Shalla-Abiata National Park nearby. After lunch we are heading back to Addis Ababa. We have a short stop at Lake Ziway to watch many water birds along its shore. Late afternoon we drive back to Addis Ababa
