Itinerary description
|
Second day of trekking, which begins on the same trail on the edge of the cliffs until reaching the viewpoint of the Jinbar waterfall, at 3229 meters, and from which we observe this spectacular waterfall of 480 meters.
From here we will also see the rest of the way to go on the day: skirt the entire ravine on the right, get into the upper part of the canyon, cross the Jinbar river, and go up the opposite side first to the town of Geech, where we see the first giant lobelias, and then to the Geech camp, at 3622 meters.
Arriving in the town of Geech we had the opportunity to taste the hospitality of the Ethiopians, because it was raining in the seas and a young woman invited us to take shelter in her tukul.
So we could see how people live in rural areas, and in passing taste the best traditional Ethiopian coffee we tried throughout our stay there.
