Descripción
Este tour de 14-15 horas visita el monasterio de Khor Virap con su magnífica vista al monte bíblico Ararat. La siguiente parada es en el complejo del monasterio Noravank, único en su construcción ya que la Iglesia de la Santa Madre de Dios es el único monasterio de dos pisos en Armenia. El siguiente es el monasterio de Tatev, un centro espiritual que tuvo una importancia científica y política sobresaliente. El monasterio está rodeado de una hermosa naturaleza. En el camino de regreso de Tatev, tomará el teleférico sin paradas más largo del mundo, "Tatever".

punto de inicio y retorno
Khor Virap es el lugar de peregrinación más famoso de Armenia, ya que está directamente relacionado con la adopción del cristianismo. Como religión de Estado, el cristianismo en Armenia fue adoptado en 301 debido a los esfuerzos de San Gregorio el Iluminador, quien, antes de convertir al rey Trdat III al cristianismo, fue encarcelado en el calabozo, sobre el que se construyó una iglesia del monasterio de Khor Virap en el siglo XVII. Desde el monasterio se puede admirar la impresionante vista del Monte Ararat Bíblico.
Pasando por un camino estrecho, rodeado de rocas de cien cuevas, se descubre una escena de armonía de la arquitectura con la naturaleza. El monasterio, consagrado con finas soluciones arquitectónicas y lujosos adornos, es uno de los ejemplos más brillantes de la arquitectura armenia del siglo XIII. Noravank consta de iglesias de San Karapet, San Gregorio el Iluminador y Santa Astvatsatsin (Santa Madre de Dios) iglesia de dos plantas, que se destaca por su trabajo constructivo y escultórico ideal.
Las campanas de la iglesia repicaban con fuerza en Tatev el 16 de octubre de 2010, anunciando el lanzamiento de un programa para revivir un complejo monástico medieval y la apertura de "Wings of Tatev" Ropeway. El cable de 5,7 km, construido en 11 meses, pasa por una profunda garganta del río Vorotan y sobre colinas, cubiertas de exuberantes bosques. El tranvía está sostenido por tres torres entre sus dos terminales. Una terminal está en una colina, con vistas al pueblo de Halidzor y la otra está cerca del monasterio de Tatev, en la carretera al pueblo de Tatev. Dos cabinas operan a la vez, viajando en direcciones opuestas. Hay 6 cables en total (3 para cada cabina), cada uno previsto de forma única para las especificaciones de este proyecto. Dentro de unos 11 minutos una cabina de tranvía lleva a los pasajeros, 30 a la vez, desde el pueblo de Halidzor al magnífico complejo de Tatev.
Entre los pilares arquitectónicos de Zangezour, el monasterio de Tatev no tiene sus "rivales". Solía ser el monasterio medieval más rico de Armenia. Además de ser un centro religioso, Tatev también fue el importante centro estratégico del reino Syunik. Al estar situado en un lugar naturalmente defendido, el monasterio de Tatev siempre ha sido una fortaleza inexpugnable para los alienígenas. En condiciones políticas inestables varias formas secretas en el territorio de la fortaleza condujeron al cañón y sirvieron de enlace entre el monasterio y el mundo exterior.

Tour guide karen was very knowledgeable and explained in detail all of the history of the places. He was friendly and kind and answered all of our questions. Bus driver karen was smooth on the very long road. Overall it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.
We’re so grateful for your warm review! We look forward to planning your next unforgettable experience in Armenia.
This tour was fun, informative, and a great insight into Armenia’s history. The priest at Noravank was so welcoming and you could feel his warmth and kindness as he blessed every single person in our party. It was unexpected and will forever be a beautiful memory. Our guide, Anush, was very knowledgeable and insightful guide. We were a large group and she was patient and aware of the needs of each person. Haik, our driver did a wonderful job getting us to all our sights promptly and safely. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We would love to host you again whenever you return!
It's a super tiring trip. But I knew that before I bought the package. What I didn't know was that I would have to travel 14 hours sitting on the wheel, with my legs bent, and if that wasn't enough, the bench I was sitting on was damaged, with no normal stofamen, making my trip a great suffering. The problem was brought,just at the beginning of the trip, to the guide Nina, she said that she had nothing to do, nor considered the fact of being a 71-year-old person. The agency should evaluate the type of transport for such a long trip, thinking a little more about the comfort of tourists and less about profits.
Lamentamos sinceramente que a viagem tenha sido tão desconfortável. Em um percurso tão longo, o estado do assento e o conforto dos passageiros são especialmente importantes. Também sentimos muito que sua preocupação não tenha recebido a devida atenção durante o passeio, sobretudo considerando sua idade. Agradecemos por relatar o ocorrido; verificaremos a condição do veículo e analisaremos a situação com nossa equipe para evitar que algo semelhante se repita.
We went with chofer ALEXANDER that was such a Great guy that then we wanted to repeat our other tours with him.
We’re delighted by your kind words! You are always welcome to explore Armenia with us again!
This tour of Khor Virap, Noravank and Tatev were excellent! Our guide Marina was so knowledgeable and it was truly a wonderful experience with my family. The driver, Araik, did a great job driving us to these majestic monasteries/churches.
It’s so nice to hear that you were satisfied with our services. You can surely rely on our company in future as well!
If you want any to get to the heart and soul of Armenian cultural heritage as well as see some breathtaking sights. Anoush and Haik are the best!!!

Karen was our guide and he was very helpful and friendly and patient. Levon was the driver and we had very relaxed trip.
We’re delighted by your kind words! You are always welcome to explore Armenia with us again!
I’m not sure how to put into words the most magical place in the world. My family of four went to Khor Virap, Noravank and had our final stop at Tatev. All the views were amazing but I want to mention Tatev mainly. The views were like nothing I have experienced in my life. Despite it being a 14/15 hour tour, I am so glad I booked this tour. This would be our 4th tour with Hyur this week and I would definitely say it was the best one yet! It’s a hike but it’s definitely a must!! Levon our driver was wonderful and Garen our tour guide did a fantastic job guiding. Thank you both for the safe ride and explanation!
Thank you so much for your lovely words! We would be thrilled to welcome you back to Armenia soon!
Prepare to be informed. Prepare to be engaged. Prepare to be amazed. Yes it is a long day, but if you don’t take this tour, you will be cheating yourself of a tour that is nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend our tour guide Garen and driver Levon. A great team and asset to Hyur Service!
We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback! We can’t wait for the chance to host you again in the future!
This was an incredible tour and one I would recommend to anyone visiting Armenia. It take a you to the most beautiful and scenic areas, and well worth the long drive. Or guide was Karen and he was very knowledgeable and attentive. He also honoured us by singing a beautiful Armenian hym. We were also in very safe hands with our driver Levon, who drove incredibly on the twisting roads
Your positive review is much appreciated! Looking forward to hosting you in Armenia soon!
