Explore a land where the landscapes speak of centuries of rich history and where ancient traditions intersect with modern geopolitics. Journey with an expert local leader and a small group of keen adventurers through forests, past tall mountain peaks and to cultural marvels. Taste the delectable cuisine (even learning the ancient art of making tenili ‘string’ cheese during a Signature Experience!) and embrace the warm hospitality with plenty of opportunity to rub shoulders with the locals. Wander through cosmopolitan Baku, make friends in Tbilisi and end up in Yerevan – Armenia’s centre of culture.
