Kutaisi: visita guiada al teleférico de Chiatura y al pilar Katskhi
Descripción
Realice una visita guiada desde Kutaisi para explorar las joyas ocultas de la región de Imereti. Visite el Pilar Katskhi, un monolito de piedra caliza de 40 metros de altura con una iglesia en la cima. La siguiente parada será la ciudad minera de Chiatura, que alguna vez fue la número uno en minería de manganeso y fue famosa por su exclusivo sistema de teleférico de la era soviética, que se instaló en la década de 1950 para transportar a mineros y residentes arriba y abajo de las empinadas laderas. Lo creas o no, hasta hoy los teleféricos son uno de los principales medios de transporte público para los locales. Los viejos teleféricos fueron reemplazados por otros nuevos, pero verás algunos de los viejos teleféricos, también conocidos como "ataúdes voladores", colgados de las líneas abandonadas. Darás un paseo en una nueva telecabina de Chiatura y te sentirás como un local por un tiempo. Verá monumentos y mosaicos soviéticos esparcidos por Chiatura y también verá edificios residenciales típicos soviéticos. Después de un paseo por Chiatura, continúa hasta el convento de Mghvimevi, excavado en la roca. Por la tarde regreso a Kutaisi.

Itinerario
El pilar de Katskhi es un espectacular 40 m. Roca alta con una iglesia encima. Rara vez hay una oportunidad de subir, ya que el monje vive allí permanentemente, incluso sus hermanos solo se comunican con él trayendo comida y con la ayuda de la cuerda. Puede tomar fotos impresionantes de la columna en el camino o desde el estacionamiento. Sin embargo, hay una iglesia y un monasterio en la planta baja. Así que no es una visita muy larga, pero definitivamente vale la pena.
Chiatura es una ciudad industrial muy importante en el oeste de Georgia, es una de las principales minas de manganeso. También es muy famoso por sus teleféricos, que se construyeron en los años 50 como medio de transporte para los mineros. Darás un paseo en una de las nuevas líneas.
Junto con el guía, darás un paseo por Chiatura, disfrutarás de su arquitectura específica y caminarás hasta una de las antiguas estaciones del teleférico.
Visita al convento, que está excavado en la roca.

This was a great day tour, definitely recommend. The route was perfect- there was lots to see and explore without too much time spent traveling between locations. It was refreshingly slower-paced despite including many notable sights which was great because we saw a lot without feel rushed. Content consisted of a lovely mix between history, views, culture, and religion. We especially liked that this tour allowed us to see and appreciate many things that we wouldn’t have otherwise. Our guide was welcoming, approachable, attentive, and knowledgeable. Her driving was *excellent* and we felt fully safe and comfortable with her behind the wheel. We actually did 2 tours with Megobari and loved their overall vibe; while still very professional and organized, there was less of a “corporate” feel and more of a warm, personal feeling.
We enjoyed this day trip with different kinds of stops very much! It was a good mixture between landscapes, architecture and history (from soviet times as well as before). It was also very interactive, as we got to ride on the old and new cable cars of Chiatura. The tour guide was very kind and told us a lot of interesting facts about Georgia! Thank you!
We experienced with our guide Sandra a very interesting varied tour through the history and development of a mining industry town with a focus on the cable cars. It was an impressive tour.
I truly recommend this tour. Our guide Teona was amazing! She answered all our questions e tell us a lot of interesting facts about places. She is very appassionate, gentle and also a great fotographer :)
An interesting excursion that will appeal to fans of history, religion and technology, full of beautiful views. Guide knows what he's talking about. The small van we were travelling in was quite cramped (but the train to Chiatura is currently not running, so there is no choice). Keep in mind that you may get muddy, so choose appropriate clothing.
Very attentive guide, perfect to discover this little piece of paradise through the old cable car dating from the Soviet Union in particular
