Debre Libanos
The drive to Debre Libanos leads across the highlands north of Addis Ababa. It offers a glimpse into the lovely village landscape of Ethiopia, and then suddenly drops open into a 1,000 m deep gorge at Debre Libanos. You'll take a short rest at the top of the gorge, keeping your eyes open for various bird species. On a short hike (1.5 to 2 hours), you'll cross an old bridge built for commercial purposes in order to arrive at a terraced waterfall and caves inhabited by monkeys. In the afternoon, we'll visit the sanctuary where the famous monastery of Debre Azbo (later Debre Libanos) was founded in the 13th century and destroyed in 1937 during the Italian occupation. We visit the octagonal church with the glass-paintings of the artist Afework Tekle, who also designed the windows of the Africa Hall in Addis Ababa as well as the newly built museum in which art treasures of the monastery are shown.
Portuguese Bridge
Though local guides insist the small stone-arch Portuguese bridge near Debre Libanos was erected by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it was actually built at the turn of the 19th century by Ethiopians, albeit in the old Portuguese style. The narrow span makes a pretty picture and the gushing (in the rainy season) cascade just below it is even more impressive.

5.00So glad we went - my companion has lived in Addis all her life & yet we both learned an enormous amount from the tour. Mickey his self is an amazing young woman, very patient with answering our many questions. Note: if you book on the same day, phone the office to ensure they've picked up your booking. It really should say this in the blurb - we naturally assumed that confirmed tickets aren't issued unless the tour will run, so our initial impression wasn't positive as the guide did not appear. However, after calling & finding Mickey had gone home because they thought no one had booked the tour, the sight of her rushing towards us quickly dispelled our annoyance.
Stunning experience and trustworthy tour operator

5.00Danakil depression tour is excellent tour operator in addis ababa ,i booked two day tours both debre libanos and debre zeit was an amazing experience. All crew are supper organized. Debre Libanos is a mixture of History & Natural beauty. Its approx 100km North of Addis Ababa. Primarily famous for Monastary were Saint Tekele Haimanoth penanced. Also nearby in the valley of one of Blue Nile Tributaries nestled 400 year old bridge build from Ostrich Eggs & Limestone by Portugal's Army in 16th century. During Ethiopian rainy seasons (June - September) one would come across spontaneous water falls. The water from this waterfall gets merged with one of Blue Nile Tributaries which in turn be a part of larger "Tis Abbay" waterfalls some 50 km downstream from Debre Libanos. To reach Portuguese Bridge waterfall one has to hike about 900 meters down towards valley from the Main Road. Due to rainy seasons, the tracks are slippery & needs local guide assistance. Luckily now a days local authority has posted few. This was my third visit & in my 3rd visit I was lucky to spot the waterfalls underneath Portuguese Bridge. The waterfall makes three steps before it reach to bottom of valley. The view of 3 step waterfall is menacing as water flows abundantly & gushing into valley with full forces. The views is fantastic. Thank you so much for a great experience
Perfect trip out side Addis Ababa

5.00What a great day trip with our Mickey and driver Delarosa This tour was an excellent insight into a little part of Ethiopia. The Rift Valley and Portuguese Bridge are spectacular places to see. This is a must do trip with Danakil depression Tours, who are well organised and efficient. Mickey was the best guide - full of fantastic information and stories. He is a genuinely nice guy, who is passionate about his job and love of his country. He really made this one of the highlights of our 7 week trip through Africa.Thanks Alex. Also thanks to zekarias for being a good driver and keeping us safe. Definitely need to visit Ethiopia again and do more tours with Mickey.

5.00We took a day trip (family of 5) to the monastery, cave and 13th century Portuguese Bridge with my mother Danakil Depression Tours picked us up at our residence and took us north. While on the trip there the tour guide was very informative and we jammed to local Ethiopian music. They were very friendly, spoke clear English, and patient with the kids. The transportation was spotless and comfortable and the driver was great and friendly, pulling over for us to take photos when we asked. Living in Ethiopia for the past 9 months and using 2 other tour groups, this one does not compare. They strive for excellence, have open communication with their clients and make sure to give you a memorable day filled with fun, culture and history. I cannot recommend this company enough!
Amazing nature with good guide

5.00From communication before our tour, to picking us up for our tour, throughout the tour and dropping us off -- this was a fantastic experience!!! Our guide picked us up at our hotel given to us by Ethiopian Airlines and we had a fantastic day exploring Addis! We went to a museum and saw Lucy, had smoothies and our guide's favorite spot, went behind the scenes at the market, saw an overview of the city, had a FANTASTIC traditional Ethiopian meal, had delicious coffee and got dropped back off at our hotel! Not before our guide helped us to get our shoes cleaned (a local spot on the corner) to get some dust off that had accumulated throughout the day! I could not recommend this tour enough!! Great for a quick layover in Addis when you want to experience the city!! Able to customize as well!
