This voyage leads to the historical places of Ethiopia
in the north, passing through the scenic Ethiopian highlands.
Bahir Dar, Lake Tana, with its thirty isles, keepers of
ancient coptic monasteries, the blue Nile which falls into
the spectacular Tissisat waterfalls -- the name means water
that smokes. Gondar, ancient capital dating from the days
of the Emperor Fasil, with its castles and churches, among
them the famous church with angel frescoes. Axum, through
the magnificent scenery of the Simien Mountains, the oldest
city of Ethiopia. It is here that, between myth and reality,
the Ark of the Covenant is kept ... but only the old priest
in charge of it is permitted to see it. The monasteries
and rock churches in the Tigre and, at last, Lalibela, the
Jerusalem of Ethiopia with its 11 monolithic, red-colored
churches, excavated in the rock and connected by a network
of tunnels, today still a vital center ofthe coptic church,
where the people from the entire country gal her during
the colorfulfestivities.
