This experience far exceeded my expectations! The churches are surreal and to know they were hewn out of rock in the 12th/ 13th century with just basic tools and lots of manual labor is just absolutely awe inspiring. My tour guide, Maereg, was phenomenal in providing a lot of insight into the churches, the town and the people. We also had a chance to visit during Sunday Mass which made the experience even more special. It is amazing how these churches and practices have endured for such a long time. It was an awesome experience for me and I'd highly recommend the services of Maereg and his tour company while visiting Lalibela!
