Arara VARIOUS VENUES, THE CAUCASUS
Mountain nature, deep-rooted traditions of hospitality, authentic national cuisine and medieval masterpieces — these are just a few of the highlights in the South Caucasian region. Lying between Eastern Europe and
Western Asia, the region is occupied by three neighbouring countries: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. There’s a misconception these post- Soviet countries lack anything interesting to visit and are poorly equipped to welcome tourists. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Armenia is widely regarded as the cradle of
civilisation. It was the first country to adopt Christianity as a state religion and is home to countless ancient religious monuments, cross stones and frescoes. Georgia, meanwhile, is the region’s centre of food and wine, a place with a more than 8,000-year-old winemaking tradition. Finally, there’s Azerbaijan, known as ‘the land of fire’ and mud volcanoes, which is part of the Great Silk Road. The Armenian travel company Arara is one of just a few local tour operators that offers group
and tailor-made budget and luxury tours to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Founded six years ago, Arara has grown into a professional, efficient company that employs only the best tour leaders, drivers and mountain guides. Today’s luxury traveller seeks not only comfort
and high standards, but also more immersive experiences that give them an insight into local culture. In response to this, Arara has launched its 16-day Exquisite Caucasus package. The tour is a chance to experience best of the region’s hotels and food, and is spiced up by offering travellers the chance to meet locals, visit legendary monasteries and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, explore cave towns, learn to cook Caucasian national dishes and taste wine in old wineries, chateaux and estates. There’s also the 21-day tour to Azerbaijan,
Georgia and Armenia, and a 13-day Classical Tour to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Along with Adventure, Gourmet and Budget itineraries, Arara can also create tailor-made trips that cover exactly what visitors want to see.
Don’t miss The opportunity to prepare Armenian national bread as well as the chance to marvel at the mud volcanoes in the Gobustan Reserve
