Excursión a la hornada de Lavash de la Sinfonía de Piedras Garni Geghard desde Ereván
Descripción
El templo Garni, uno de los monumentos históricos y arquitectónicos más famosos entre los turistas, se encuentra en la provincia de Kotayk. Es la única estructura conservada en Armenia de la época pagana, dedicada al dios Mihr. Antes de llegar al templo, haremos una parada en el camino hacia el Arco de Charents, desde donde se abre una maravillosa vista del Monte Ararat. Luego visitaremos el Monasterio de Geghard (Ayrivank), donde según la leyenda, desde el siglo XIII se guardaba aquí la lanza con la que fue traspasado Cristo. Como parte del recorrido, visitaremos el desfiladero del río Azat, donde veremos la “Sinfonía de las Piedras”, un milagro de la naturaleza. El monumento natural, también conocido como el órgano de basalto, es famoso por sus magníficas rocas aparentemente artificiales.

Itinerario
Durante su paso por el pueblo de Voghjaberd, el arquitecto Rafael Israelyan a menudo notó que una maravillosa vista del Monte Ararat se abre desde la colina cercana. Y aquí, en 1957, Israelyan completó la estructura que diseñó, que se llama Templo del Monte Ararat. La última línea del poema de Yeghishe Charents está grabada en letras grandes visibles en la entrada delantera. "Vete al mundo; no hay pico blanco como Ararat, como el camino de gloria inmadura; amo mi montaña Masis." Muy pronto el lugar recibió su nuevo nombre, popular y más extendido - El Arco de Charents. Comenzamos el recorrido con el mirador del Monte Ararat, símbolo de Armenia.
El Monasterio Geghard es un monasterio medieval en la provincia de Kotayk, parcialmente tallado en la montaña adyacente, rodeado de acantilados. El nombre comúnmente usado para el monasterio hoy en día, Geghard, o más completamente Geghardavank, que significa "el Monasterio de la Lanza", se origina en la lanza que hirió a Jesús en la Crucifixión. Se cree que la lanza fue traída a Armenia por el apóstol Judas, llamado aquí Tadeo, y almacenada entre muchas otras reliquias. Ahora se muestra en el tesoro de Echmiadzin. El complejo del monasterio está catalogado como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO con un estado de protección mejorado.
La siguiente parada es el órgano de basalto, la Sinfonía de Piedras. La acumulación de piedras talladas naturalmente con una simetría maravillosa es una verdadera maravilla natural y también parte del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO. Las piedras hexagonales, extendidas una tras otra a través del cañón, parecen un órgano, de ahí el nombre.
El templo, construido en el siglo I y que había existido durante siglos, fue destruido y se levantó de nuevo. Habla sobre la Armenia precristiana y el pueblo armenio. El templo dedicado a Mitra, el Dios del Sol, es el único templo pagano conservado tanto en Armenia como en el territorio de la antigua URSS. El templo fue destruido por un terremoto devastador en 1679 y fue restaurado durante unos 8 años, 1968-75.
El tour de familiarización termina con una clase magistral de lavash, donde verás cómo se hornea el famoso pan armenio, lavash.

Well organized tour with plenty of time at each stop. Harout, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable in numerous areas, from history to climate, to geology. He is a gem of an asset to the operation and should be held on to and appreciated for his dedication and commitment. My only thought was in regards to the van, whose air conditioning system could not keep up with the heat of the day. Restaurant stop was good. Value was sufficient and tasty. Lavash baking class on site at the restaurant was appreciated by all! Thanks for a great tour and we already have another one booked.
