TRADITIONALLY-INSPIRED
Tukul Village offers a distinctive collection of traditionally-inspired, two storey circular houses. And even more amazing buildings lie just a few minutes’ walk away.
From its prominent position you can see the horizon framed by dark blue mountains. Tear yourself away from the view and you can experience even more jaw-dropping sights. From Tukul Village you can walk to the Church of Saint George, perhaps the most astonishing of all Lalibela’s historic churches.
As you approach you cannot believe the size of the cruciform structure that has been carved down into the solid rock hillside – it’s only the minute figures of people standing on the edge of the great crater that give you an idea of scale. Faith may move mountains, but man made this huge excavation. And that’s the thing about Lalibela – the more you see the more wonderful it becomes. So include it in your tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia.
