Day By Day

1 Day Itinerary

Day 1 Departure from Addis Ababa and drive to Debr libanos Main Destination: Awash National Park

Start your day with a scenic drive from Addis Ababa to Debre Libanos Monastery, located about 110 kilometers (2–3 hours) north of the city. The drive offers picturesque views of the Ethiopian countryside, passing through villages, hills, and farmland.

Arrive at Debre Libanos Monastery, one of Ethiopia's most significant religious sites, perched high above the Jemma River Gorge. Visit the main church, explore the monastery grounds, and see the tomb of Saint Tekle Haymanot, the founder of the monastery. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking views of the gorge.

Visit to the Portuguese Bridges

After visiting the monastery, head to the nearby Portuguese Bridges, a historic site built in the 16th century by Portuguese missionaries. These stone bridges, located on the edge of the gorge, are a fascinating example of early European engineering in Ethiopia and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

After exploring the monastery and Portuguese bridges, begin your journey back
