Have you ever heard of our progenitor Lucy? Well, her remains dating back to three million years ago have been found in Africa, more precisely in Ethiopia. It's therefore entirely correct to call this land the cradle of humanity, a place full of charm and invaluable historical heritage. Dominated by Mount Entoto, Addis Ababa is the chaotic capital with intoxicating aromas and bright colours where the poor slums contrast the sumptuous St George's Cathedral, and the vitality of Merkato invites you to lose yourself in the medieval atmosphere of the castles of Gondar and in the heart of Christianity in Lalibela, with its churches carved into the rock. Delicate and lightly spiced, Ethiopian cuisine is a real explosion of flavours, where meats, pulses and vegetables are placed over crisp "injera", creating a mouth-watering dish. And if you'd like to experience the typical day of an Ethiopian, just immerse yourself in their simple rhythms of life marked by activities that make this people truly special.
