Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Embora existam vários marcos históricos na Armênia, o mais antigo e conhecido é provavelmente o bíblico Monte Ararat. É por isso que nosso passeio promete uma vista espetacular do ponto mais próximo possível. O mosteiro de Khor Virap está localizado a cerca de uma hora de carro da capital Yerevan e oferece uma vista incrível do símbolo que define a Armênia - o majestoso Ararat. “Khor Virap” se traduz como “masmorra profunda”, e foi construído no local da antiga prisão real, localizada no sítio histórico de Artashat. Foi nesta prisão que eles mantiveram Gregório, o Iluminador, o primeiro católico armênio, por 13 anos inteiros. Portanto, não é surpresa que este lugar seja um dos lugares mais sagrados para os armênios em todo o mundo. Da mesma forma, também é o ponto mais próximo do Monte Ararat da Armênia; muitas vezes este local torna-se o motivo número 1 para visitar o nosso país!
Outro lugar imperdível é Noravank. É uma das joias da arquitetura medieval armênia, aninhada no alto entre as impressionantes falésias de tijolos vermelhos no final do Gnishik Canyon. Aqui você verá a única representação de Deus Pai na Armênia, que é tão surpreendente quanto o rosto de Jesus Cristo que apareceu na cúpula do nártex da Igreja. Construída por nobres orbelianos, destaca-se entre as nossas igrejas como o sepulcro desta família nobre, tornando-a única, pois era absolutamente proibido enterrar pessoas dentro de uma igreja desde o século V.
O passeio irá levá-lo ao Areni – 1 Caverna “Pássaros”. Em 2008, os arqueólogos descobriram vários dos artefatos mais antigos do mundo, incluindo um sapato de couro e uma adega. O local, com vista para o rio Arpa, perto da cidade de Areni, é reivindicado como datado principalmente do início da Idade do Bronze (cerca de 5.000-6.000 anos atrás). Ele também contém evidências de elaborados rituais de enterro e práticas agrícolas.
No que diz respeito ao “toque final” deste passeio, você terá a chance de provar e até comprar o renomado vinho Areni da Armênia, feito com a variedade de uva mais antiga do mundo. O vinho está disponível em várias vinícolas na própria cidade de Areni, onde faremos uma parada antes de terminar a viagem. Como parte do passeio, os hóspedes saborearão os pratos mais famosos da cozinha tradicional armênia. Os pratos são únicos com seu sabor e aroma apetitoso, característicos apenas da culinária armênia.

The tour was very interesting. The guide Anastasia was nice and knowledgeable, and the driver Edgar drove excellently. We visited Khor Virap with the wonderful view of Mount Ararat, then we moved on to visit the Areni cave, and finally the Noravank church. At the end of the tour, we listened to the secrets of Armenian wine and also tasted it. Recommended tour for the beauty and peace of the places visited.

Special thanks to Gayane 👋❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ It was a pleasure serving you, and Gayane will be delighted to hear your appreciation. We look forward to welcoming you again!
Absolutely enjoyable day the south part of Armenia!. The tour is well structured, the size (18 people) is perfect, the transportation and the hospitality are great. We really enjoyed the whole tour. Of course, besides the amazing places that you visit, the energy and the commitment of our guide Anastasia was at the highest level. She was full of information, but in an entertaining way, having our attention all the way from start to end. And with the skills and dedication of the driver Marat, this was the best tour we had. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Armenia.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience exploring southern Armenia. It’s great to know the overall organization, comfort, and group atmosphere met your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another journey in Armenia.
Very wonderful day trip and tour guide she very knowledgeable and professional.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day trip and appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of your guide. We hope to welcome you again on another experience in Armenia.
Anastasia was our guide, and she was well organized, efficient, and straight to the point. She immediately inspired confidence and made the whole experience feel seamless. Marat, our driver, was also great—friendly, relaxed, and professional. The tour was absolutely worth it. The timing was perfect: not too long, with plenty of interesting places to see. The only additional cost was the entrance fee to the Birds' Cave (1,000 AMD), and there were four lunch options available (including one vegetarian option), all reasonably priced at around 4,000–5,000 AMD. On top of that, Anastasia went out of her way to help me arrange transportation from Areni to Jermuk to visit the hot springs, and she even made sure I arrived safely. 10/10 — highly recommended.
Thank you for your detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a smooth and enjoyable experience and that the overall organization, timing, and program met your expectations.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and are especially glad that you felt well supported throughout your trip. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience in Armenia.
We were disappointed. The tour operator was Yerani Travel. The van was full and the seats were just big enough to fit you but not comfortable for any extended travel. They had a cooler that wasn’t cooling - so the water they handed out was warm, which was frustrating as the trip goes to the southern part of Armenia and it’s very very hot. I don’t recommend going this in summer at all actually. It’s literally torturous. The sites are amazing, but there’s definitely a lot to be walked on foot, lots of stairs and walking uphill, and in hot weather it’s anything but enjoyable. Then we were brought to a restaurant called Lchak. The food was horrible! The service too. Im from Armenia and I was ashamed that that was the food they were serving to people from other countries - while we are famous for our hospitality and great food! Then the AC broke in the van and that was our last straw - we took a cab from the last stop to go home, instead of waiting for them to get another van or drive 2 hrs in 95 degree weather with no AC. They need to do better with all the aspects of this tour. I rarely leave reviews - only when I’m really happy or really unhappy. People need to know what to expect here. Please be aware!
