Overview of your Addis ababa tour:

The 13thC monastery of Debere Libanos is found 130 km from the capital Addis Ababa. The trip to this old monastery gives a myriad of experiences for travelers. Apart from its golden and stellar medieval Ethiopia history, the area is famed for its stunning scenic view, abundant bird species, and a chance for hiking. Nestled within a steep riverine canyon, the monastery has been a center of monastic order and Ethiopian Orthodox Church education. Founded by the Ethiopian St. Tekelhyamnot, the monastery is the repository of the medieval Orthodox Church history of Ethiopia. The modern church, its domed roof decorated with stained-glass windows, remains an important pilgrimage site. The Portuguese Bridge near near the monastery offers a chance to hike and enjoy the picturesque Jemma river valley.

Also, various bird species and mammals such as the Endemic Gelada Baboon taking a refuge in the valley. At the final stretch of the hiking trip, you will visit the 16th century Portuguese bridge which spans the Gur River.
