Wonchi Crater Lake, located 155 kilometers west of Addis Abeba between the towns of Ambo and Welliso, was formed by a volcano erupting during the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic era. A large lake, lush valley, hot mineral springs, waterfalls, beautiful valleys, farmland, and an old monastery with a church are all located in the crater, which is 2800 meters above sea level. This majestic place is often referred to as a trekker's paradise because there are so many things to do there. You will enjoy the downhill trek through a variety of green trees and the naturally moderated hot spring. After about an hour of walking, a field opens up to the shore and a small dock. Views of the lakeshore are often enjoyed from a peaceful dock, with opportunities to hike or ride a mule along the shore, or to set out by boat to explore the lake's small islands. On one of the islands, there is a medieval period church called Kirkos dedicated to the martyr saint Cyricus.
