Armenia is a small but super interesting country nestled in the Caucasus Mountains. It's got a fascinating history, expressed by the guides this tour, as being the first nation ever to make Christianity its official religion way back in 301 AD. Think ancient churches and monasteries sprinkled across gorgeous landscapes - that's Armenia! Its capital, Yerevan, is one of the oldest cities around that people have lived in continuously.
The local tour has some must-see spots to be traveled about like:
* Lake Sevan: A giant freshwater lake high up in the mountains.
* Mount Ararat: A national symbol you can see from Yerevan, believed to be where Noah's Ark landed!
* Geghard Monastery: A super cool monastery carved right into a mountainside and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
* Garni Temple: The only ancient temple of its kind left in the region.
* Tatev Monastery: You can reach it on the world's longest cable car - pretty amazing!
Armenia is mostly mountainous, with beautiful forests, deep valleys, and snowy peaks. It's perfect for outdoor adventures like hiking and skiing and that is why chosen by travelers. Don't forget to visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial while traveling in Yerevan to learn about a difficult chapter in the country's past.
