Shaki Waterfall
Deep in the Vorotan Gorge, Shaki Waterfall is often cited as the most beautiful in Armenia. Falling from a height of 18 meters, the water flows over a wide, semicircular basalt cliff, creating a delicate white veil against the dark volcanic rock. Legend says it was named after a beautiful girl named Shaki who threw herself from a cliff to escape an invader, her long hair turning into the cascading water.
Khndzoresk: The Living Cave City
Khndzoresk: The Living Cave City
Step back in time at Old Khndzoresk, a historical village carved into the soft volcanic rock of a steep canyon. Until the mid-20th century, thousands of people lived in these man-made caves. To reach the ancient settlement, you’ll cross the famous 160-meter-long swinging bridge, which hangs 63 meters above the canyon floor. Walking across provides a thrill and a panoramic view of the cave dwellings and the lush gorge below.
Tatev Monastery
Perched on the edge of a deep basalt plateau, the 9th-century Tatev Monastery is one of the most spiritually and architecturally significant sites in the world. It was once a premier university and a beacon of science and philosophy. To get there, you’ll ride the Wings of Tatev, the world’s longest reversible aerial tramway, soaring high above the Vorotan River Gorge with breathtaking views that stretch for miles.
Areni wine Factory
Areni is the epicenter of Armenian winemaking, famous for its indigenous Areni Noir grapes.
A visit to a local factory offers insight into both traditional and modern production methods. You’ll enjoy a tasting session featuring a variety of red and white wines, as well as unique fruit wines like pomegranate and apricot.

Yerevan Republic square or Your accommodation.
