Dilijan is a corner of Armenia where nature and silence weave a harmony that captivates every traveler. Nestled among emerald forests and gentle hills, the town stretches along the scenic valley of the Aghstev River, where the air carries the scent of pine and the freshness of mountain streams. The national park's unique pearls are two beautiful sights hidden in the forests: Lakes Parz and Gosh, the shrubs and trees around which have witnessed numerous folk tales in the form of wild animals.

Formed as a result of natural climatic processes, today it captivates with its harmony with the surrounding nature. The calm surface of the water mirrors the dense forests and drifting clouds, creating an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

In the emerald mountains of Tavush, hidden among forests and cliffs, lies Makaravank – a monastic complex that shines as one of the jewels of medieval Armenia. Its origins go back to the 12th-13th centuries, when master builders succeeded in blending architectural grandeur with the harmony of the surrounding landscape. The complex consists of three churches, living quarters and service buildings, each still impressive for its scale and careful design.
