This full-day trip heads north from Addis Ababa into the dramatic highland scenery of the Ethiopian plateau. The tour visits the historic Debre Libanos monastery, an important spiritual centre founded in the 13th century, and the nearby Portuguese Bridge with its waterfalls and cliffs. It continues to viewpoints over the vast Blue Nile Gorge, often called the Grand Canyon of Africa. Round-trip transport and a guide make the long distances and rich history easy to enjoy.
