The Danakil Depression is the northern part of the Afar Triangle or Afar Depression in Ethiopia, a geological depression that has resulted from the divergence of three tectonic plates in the Horn of Africa.
A geological depression caused by the continental drift of three tectonic plates, the Danakil Depression is one of Earth’s most unusual environments. Renowned as the ‘hottest place on the planet and home to salt lakes, lava lakes, volcanoes, and colorful acidic springs – it’s a wonderful, alien environment.

You will be picked up in the morning either at the airport or at your hotel in Mekele. Afterwards we drive on an asphalted road until we reach the vicinity of the Erta Ae volcano. We will have a small snack and then set off on foot. The trekking to the summit takes only about 1 hour. Our equipment and food will be brought to the crater rim by camels. There we spend the night with spectacular views of the dramatic spectacle of the glowing lava. Erta Ale is 613 meters high, its diameter is about 30 km and the caldera at the summit covers an area of about 1 km2. It is the only permanent lava lake in the world.
