Itinerary
1. We’ll be riding on the Wings of Tatev, the world’s longest cable car (around 6 km) and a Guinness World Record holder! This cable car will take us directly to the historic 9th-century Tatev Monastery. Along the way, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of one of the most picturesque areas in Armenia. Please note, the cable car ticket is not included in the price.
2. A monastery dating back to the 9th century, which once used to be an educational and spiritual center of Armenia. It’s built on a high plateau in the Vorotan river gorge, and is surrounded by breathtaking mountains and dense forests.
3. Shaki is considered one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Armenia. It is located in Syunik region, which is famous for its historical and natural monuments. The waterfall is formed on the Shaki River, on the inflow of Vorotan that falls into a deep gorge from a height of 18 meters. Despite the small height, Shaki waterfall has a large capacity, and the rumbling of water is heard from afar. There is a legend connected with the Shaki waterfall. The story tells about the beautiful girl Shake, who rushed from the cliff, refusing to obey the will of the conquerors. While falling, the girl’s dress opened in the wind and turned into a waterfall. In honor of Shake, the waterfall was called Shaki. The territory of Shaki waterfall was inhabited by ancient civilizations that left traces in rock niches and grottoes. A winding road leads to the waterfall, still, you will have to leave the car and get to the waterfall by a narrow path.
4. Areni is known for its spectacular history in wine making, bearing the name of one of the oldest grape varieties in the world. You will have the chance to explore a local winery and enjoy a tasting experience featuring a selection of different wines.
