3-Day Visiting Lalibela Churches

In the morning, you'll fly to Lalibela and tour the magnificent rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This group of 11 monolithic and semi-monolithic structures was carved directly into the stone of the mountainside at least 800 years ago. This complex boasts the largest monolithic church in the world, a maze of passageways and tunnels, intricately carved reliefs, and fabulous examples of icon paintings.
