Tổng quát

Vé di động
On this popular road trip, you will pass through beautiful countryside scenery and the real Ethiopian way of life in action - farmers, rural communities, towns cut off from each other. At the destinations, you will visit the ancient Debre Libanos Monastery (and its cave church), the famed ‘Portuguese Bridge’ built in the 1890s, the Nile Gorge with its abundant endemic birdlife and gelada baboons and enjoy a view of Addis Ababa from a viewpoint set at 3,300 meters above sea level (Entoto Mountain).
Please note spotting the Gelada Baboons can be a matter of luck, as they live in an open park.

Cần Quan Tâm
Debre Libanos Orthodox Church
Founded by Ethiopian Saint Abune Tekle Haymanot, within a steep riverine canyon in 1284, Debre Libanos later became the political centre of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and is where Emperor Lebna Dengal received the first Portuguese mission to Ethiopia in 1520. The Italian army destroyed the original church in a 1937 massacre that claimed the lives of 800 monks, deacons and lay worshippers. The modern church, its domed roof decorated with stained-glass windows, remains an important pilgrimage site.
Portuguese Bridge
Although the locals believe the stone-arch Portuguese bridge was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it was actually built in the 1890s by Ras Darge in the old Portuguese style. The narrow span makes a spectacular picture and the gushing (in the rainy season) cascade just below it is very impressive.

5.00I feel so blessed to have gone on this tour especially this one led by Gebru. He was the most amazing tour guide I have ever had while traveling. He was so knowledgeable, kind, friendly, attentive, caring, and just wonderful. I wish I could book every single tour in Ethiopia with him. He is truly a blessing and I am so grateful for him!!

5.00My friend and I had the most amazing experience. Our guide was Gebru. This is the first time we have been to Africa since we are from Chicago. We felt safe, so welcomed and cared for. We started off with seeing the amazing views of the country side. We had the chance to feed the monkeys. After went to Debros Libanos monastery, where we learned about Ethiopian Christianity, historical figures and traditions. After we went the Portuguese bridge, ate lunch then Mount Entoto. Overall, the experience so fruitful. Our guide Debru was truly so knowledgeable about the sites and and answered all of our questions about Ethiopian history and culture. My friend and I didn’t want the tour to end because the conversation and experience was so rich. If you are visiting Addis this experience is a must!
Perfect choice for one day trip out of Addis

4.00Gebru was our guide. He did a good job. The church has amazing stained glass windows— definitely worth a look. Bring some small notes to give to the guys around the baboon habitat— we had no bills smaller than $20, which doesn’t really work for tipping or buying a necklace (they sell them to fund their academic studies). Be forewarned that you cannot wear your shoes into the church (slightly complicated if you’re wearing hiking boots, which are of course worth wearing for the bridge and hike, it’s fine, just don’t assume you’re going to waltz on in). Also there are restrictions on who can enter the church— no women on their periods and no one who has had sex in the last 48 hours. The area around the bridge offers amazing views but you should wear robust shoes because it is genuinely like a very short hike in the American Southwest— rocky, steep. Totally worth doing, just don’t wear flip flops 🤣
Great experience
