Lalibela, Ethiopia
Explore the monolithic medieval churches of Lalibela, carved directly into living volcanic rock in Ethiopia's Lasta mountains.
The ideal window to visit Lalibela is from October to March during the dry season, when blue skies prevail and muddy mountain trails firm up. Try to align your trip with the vibrant Orthodox Christmas festival (Genna) in early January if you want to witness massive nationwide pilgrimages, though book accommodation many months in advance.Explore →
