[2025 Lalibela Attraction] Travel Guide for Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela (Updated Apr)

Laibela is a national world heritage site located just outside of Amhara Ethiopia. Now, understand that I have been around the world six times and have visited over 100 countries…… but, I cannot remember when I have ever been so moved and rocked to the core like I was when I visited these incredible churches….. If there were ever a bucket list place to visit this would be it completely. According to UNESCO; “The churches were not constructed in a traditional way but rather were hewn from the living rock of monolithic blocks. These blocks were further chiselled out, forming doors, windows, columns, various floors, roofs etc. This gigantic work was further completed with an extensive system of drainage ditches, trenches and ceremonial passages, some with openings to hermit caves and catacombs” The few pictures that I posted cannot even do this place justice as you must visit for yourself. #travel #wanderlust #travelling #traveller #travelphotography #instatravel #adventure #journey #travelgram #travelpassion #travellifestyle #myjourney #wonderlust #trip #ilovetravel #camping #traveling #traveladdicted #travelgoals #traveljournal #igtravel #traveladdict #travelpics #bestvacations #travelphotos #traveler #tourist #travelblog #tourism #hiking
