Vayots Dzor is a land where sun and stone have guarded the secret of wine for centuries and the village of Areni became the ancient key to that mystery. Deep within its caves, archaeologists uncovered the world's oldest winemaking complex, proof that grape and man were bound together on this land thousands of years ago. Since then, every vine of Areni seems to carry the memory of the ages, offering berries filled with the fragrance of ancient Armenia.

2. Tatev Monastery

Amid the rugged ridges of Zangezur, high above deep gorges and winding mountain roads, rises the Tatev Monastery – an unrivaled masterpiece of medieval Armenian architecture. Founded in the 9th century on the site of an ancient pagan sanctuary, it became both the spiritual and political heart of the Syunik principality. Perched on the very edge of a cliff, its stone walls merge seamlessly with the mountain massif, while its strategic position made it nearly unreachable for enemies.

3. Wings of Tatev Ropeway

10-15 min Details: Wings of Tatev Ropeway

On October 16, 2010, the solemn toll of bells echoed across the Tatev Valley, announcing not only the revival of the medieval monastery complex but also the inauguration of an extraordinary feat of engineering – the "Wings of Tatev" cableway. Stretching 5.7 km, this aerial link connects the village of Halidzor with the ancient monastery and holds the Guinness World Record as the longest reversible cableway on the planet.

4. Khndzoresk Caves

Just eight kilometers from Goris lies Khndzoresk – a village where nature itself seems to have played the role of architect. Instead of ordinary houses, cave dwellings carved into towering cliffs form a stone labyrinth, while winding paths stretch across hills that have never known a flat line.

Экскурсия в Арени, Татев, пещеры и качающийся мост. Экскурсия длительная, насыщенная информацией и впечатлениями. Интересно слушать историю страны, которая излагается непринужденно, с любовью, Невольно и сам проникаешься уважением, любовью к Армении, которую представляют такие внимательные люди, профессионалы, как экскурсовод Ерванд и водитель Арайк.
