Lalibela Backpacker tours
I was born and raised in Lalibela and hence what you can call a true local. Lalibela has a fascinating cultural ancestry unique even by Ethiopian standards, which I am delighted to share with guests by putting my personal experience in place. We will get off the beaten path, explore the local traditions and have a trully memorable Ethiopian journey.
I am profoundly famiilar with all the surrounding mountain area as it has been my home since I can remember. The trekkings are flexible according to guest preference, from the more accessible to the more daring. We will also take the chance to meet local people who will add an even more genuine touch to the experience
