4 Days  |  Armenia

About this trip

Enjoy a perfect balance between urban exploration and natural discovery with "Armenia in Detail", a 5-day itinerary that expands our essential proposal to offer a more relaxed and profound experience. This extra day makes the difference, allowing you to better savor local gastronomy, enjoy more free time in the capital, and calmly explore the landscapes of the country's north.

Ereván: History and Life

The vibrant city of Ereván will be our starting and arrival point. We will have the opportunity to visit the moving Armenian Genocide Memorial (Tsitsernakaberd) and enjoy the views from Victory Park. Daily excursions will take us to discover the treasures of the surroundings, beginning with the essential duo of Garni and Geghard. Here, the majesty of the pagan temple and the mystique of the rock-hewn monastery combine with the spectacular landscape of the Azat river canyon.

Spirituality and the "Armenian Switzerland"

The journey deepens into the country's religious identity with a visit to Echmiadzin, seat of the Catholicos of all Armenians, and the circular ruins of Zvartnots, where architecture defies time against Mount Ararat. But what truly distinguishes this journey is the dedication to nature.

We will travel north through changing landscapes until reaching Lake Sevan, the "pearl of Armenia". We will climb the steps to the Sevanavank monastery for an unforgettable panoramic view. Then, we will venture into the forests of Dilijan National Park. This region, known for its healing air and alpine landscapes, houses hidden monasteries like Haghartsin or Goshavank, surrounded by lush vegetation that contrasts with the aridity of the Ararat valley. Five days is just the right time to understand why Armenia is considered an open-air museum.
