About this trip
Dedicate a full week to "Exploring Armenia", a land of biblical history, volcanic landscapes and a resilient culture. This 7-day journey focuses exclusively on Armenia, allowing for a total and leisurely immersion in the traditions of the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion.
Ereván and the South
Without the hustle and bustle of crossing borders, we will calmly enjoy Ereván, the "pink city", its markets and its lively nightlife. We will visit the iconic monastery of Khor Virap, with its postcard views of Mount Ararat, and venture into the wine region of Areni to discover the world's oldest winery and the spectacular Noravank monastery among red canyons.
The Green North and the Heights
The journey will also take us north, to the immense Lago Sevan and the forests of Dilijan, visiting the monastic complexes of Goshavank and Haghartsin, hidden jewels among the trees. It also includes visits to less crowded but impressive places like the fortress of Amberd, situated at 2,300 meters on the slopes of Mount Aragats. It is the perfect option for those who prefer "slow travel" and wish to thoroughly know a single country, enjoying its gastronomy, its music and the warmth of its people without rush.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will begin a day full of symbolism and spectacular landscapes, first heading to the historic Monastery of Khor Virap. This pilgrimage site is fundamental to Armenian identity, not only for its historical connection with the imprisonment of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, but for offering the most iconic and closest view of the biblical Mount Ararat, which rises majestically dominating the horizon. Next, we will delve into the history of viticulture in the fascinating Areni Cave, a world-renowned archaeological site where the oldest known winery was discovered, transporting us to the origins of this millennial tradition. Finally, the route will take us through a narrow gorge to the impressive Noravank Monastery. This 13th-century architectural jewel will leave us speechless with its beauty and unique location, nestled among imposing red rock cliffs that create a dramatic contrast with the stone of the churches, thus closing an unforgettable day exploring the heritage of the south of the country.
