Addis Ababa
About
A 3-hour drive from the capital of Addis Ababa, Wenchi - situated at the base of an extinct volcano, is the beautiful legacy of a once-powerful volcano erupting in the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic Era. The volcano that erupted about 1000 years ago left an asymmetric caldera of rock which is now covered in lush green vegetation. The whole crater contains a large lake with small islands, hot mineral springs, waterfalls, and beautiful valleys and farmland. An old monastery with a church that is positioned on one of the lake islands also makes the spot more enticing and mesmerizing.Wenchi Crater Lake is a piece of paradise on earth owing to its breathtaking landscape and beautiful scenic area...

Wonchi Crater Lake | ወንጭ ሀይቅ
Take a day trip to the northern Crater Lake Wenchi. Here, we have a 5-6 hour hike (or riding tour) through the beautiful countryside. You'll walk down to the crater lake before crossing the lake by boat. On a small island, we'll visit a monastery and church. From the opposite side of the lake, we start our way back through a lovely green valley with numerous clear water springs and small streams. The route takes us past corn mills powered by water and are still being used today for processing teff, a local type of grain. In the late afternoon, we return to Addis Ababa.
