Addis Abeba : Debre Libanos, garganta del Nilo Azul, y excursión a la cueva
Descripción
En este popular viaje por carretera, pasará por hermosos paisajes rurales y la verdadera forma de vida etíope en acción: agricultores, comunidades rurales, ciudades aisladas entre sí. En los destinos, visitará el antiguo Monasterio de Debre Libanos (y su iglesia rupestre), el famoso ‘Puente Portugués’ construido en la década de 1890, el Desfiladero del Nilo con su abundante avifauna endémica y babuinos gelados y disfrutará de una vista de Addis Abeba desde un mirador situado a 3.300 metros sobre el nivel del mar (Montaña Entoto). Tenga en cuenta que ver los mandriles de Gelada puede ser una cuestión de suerte, ya que viven en un parque abierto.

Itinerario
Fundado por la etíope Santa Abune Tekle Haymanot, dentro de un empinado cañón ribereño en 1284, Debre Libanos se convirtió más tarde en el centro político de la Iglesia ortodoxa etíope, y es donde el emperador Lebna Dengal recibió la primera misión de Portugal a Etiopía en 1520. El ejército italiano destruyó la iglesia original en una masacre de 1937 que cobró la vida de 800 monjes, diáconos y fieles laicos. La iglesia moderna, su cúpula decorada con vitrales, sigue siendo un importante lugar de peregrinación.
Aunque los lugareños creen que el puente portugués de arco de piedra fue construido por los portugueses en el siglo XVI, en realidad fue construido en la década de 1890 por Ras Darge en el antiguo estilo portugués. El lapso estrecho hace una imagen espectacular y la cascada de chorros (en la temporada de lluvias) justo debajo de ella es muy impresionante.
Verá la garganta del río Jemma, que es el punto de referencia para el Gran Valle del Rift africano y es uno de los tramos de carretera más espectaculares de Etiopía que comienza su descenso serpenteante hasta el fondo de la garganta del Nilo Azul, 1 km más abajo. Se accede a la garganta por una carretera que ofrece vistas espectaculares, y un par de puentes cruzan el río.
Conducirá por la histórica iglesia Entoto, que en su recinto tiene la primera iglesia en / alrededor de Addis Abeba. Es una iglesia tranquila con la arquitectura antigua típica de las iglesias etíopes.
Entoto es donde Addis Abeba se estableció por primera vez. Desde casi 3.300 metros de altitud, la colina ofrece una vista espectacular de las vastas partes de Addis Abeba.

We booked this trip (over other tour operators) as it included Entry/Admission to Mount Entoto (expecting to go into Entoto Park as there were multiple photos from other people's experiences), but all we did was stop at a random spot along the road and the guide said there's the view of Addis Ababa. We would have been better saving the additional cost and going with another tour operator who charges less and doing Mt Entoto (and Entoto Park) separately with the money saved. Very disappointed and a lack of understanding / acknowledgement from the tour provider over this.
Our guide (Sam) and driver (Rudolf?) were really nice, I enjoyed their company and explanations. Although I enjoyed what I saw, in the end it was all a little too far, and the road a little too bumpy. I was exhausted by the end of the day from sitting in that small uncomfortable van for so many hours. Lunch was good, but not having any coffee for us at the end was a huge fail for any Ethiopian tour.
I had an amazing tour with our guide, Semere, and our driver, Surafuel! Thank you! If you have the time while visiting Addis, I really recommend booking this tour so that you can see outside of the capital. Amazing scenery, especially around the Portuguese Bridge. You really do miss out on the beautiful nature in Ethiopia if you stay in Addis. It's a long drive (about 2 and a half hours both ways), but the journey is part of the adventure, and the van was comfortable. Great company as our tour was all solo travellers. I felt completely safe the entire trip. We saw the monastery, which is extremely interesting, and you learn a lot about the history of the Orthodox Christian church in Ethiopia. We then went to the Portuguese Bridge, and had a bit of a hike up to see the view of the Gorge and waterfalls. Amazing! And we were the only ones around. We then got lunch (traditional food) at a nearby spot with an amazing view, and stopped again for a coffee ceremony. Great day and great company!
This was great. Would have been better with a guide, and one that speaks English. Long drive there and back with bad roads. But the baboon stop, the monastery and the Portuguese stop especially are well worth it. The food stop was a miss for me though. Little bit of a dive. One one traveler felt comfortable eating there. Overall still well worth it. Pack your food and drinks. I’d go for the Portuguese bridge alone 10/10.
Nice guide, fine trip, raining season would be better to see the waterfalls
We had an incredible day with the awesome guide Semere! Everything from a coffee ceremony to seeing baboons, the canyon and the bridge. Wonderful scenery the whole way!
İt was a great experience to discover beautiful nature of debre libanos. Our driver Abiy is so kind accompanying us sürüngen the trip. Highly recommended.
Great tour. Very friendly tour guides! We went to the market, the church, in the wild and saw the beautiful Gelada Baboons that can only be seen in Ethiopia! We always felt very safe. I can only recommend it!! :)
