There are few countries in the world that can be proud of such an ancient and glorious history. Armenia is a small country indeed, with a population of three million only, but at the same time a country with great cultural and religious heritage. Established over 2600 years ago, Armenia was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its official religion - in 301, and this is a well-known fact, but you should see the effects of this fact - hundreds of churches and monasteries dating back from the first centuries of Christianity are scattered across the mountainous landscape.
♦ Echmiadzin – is the old capital of Armenia and the center of the Armenian Church.
♦ Matenadaran library, which has one of the biggest collections of ancient manuscripts in the world
♦ Roman temple Garni – dating back from 1st century A.D. with a number of important constructions survived from three different periods.
♦ Geghard Monastery – an incredible ancient Armenian monastery, partly carved out of a mountain dating back from the 4th century.

No special experience is needed; everyone who is in condition to cope with long Saturday walks in the forest can also cope with these tours. As a rule, the trips are short and at a low altitude. Often, it is your choice to join or skip a day-tour. The routes follow a hilly terrain without steep ascents and descents. Normally we walk 3/5h a day.
Most of you, who are used to walking/cycling during a long weekend, will be in condition to cope with a tour of this level. You should be in a good health condition. We have successive days of longer and more difficult walking and days of lighter walking/cycling. Some parts of the day routes are done at a higher altitude. The paths are in good condition. We walk/cycle for 5/7h a day.
