Itinerary description

Show original
We left Gondar around 8.30 in the morning. Arrived in Debarq (a smaller town) we quickly completed the necessary formalities. After having breakfast and having yet another Ethiopian coffee, we left for the park. After a short lunch, we started our trek in the Simien mountains. Immense valleys opened immediately before the eyes, but of this very short day (about 6km) I will remember my first meeting with the geladas, the local monkeys: at a certain point I and the other guys in the group were almost surrounded by many friendly monkeys!
