Lalibela is one of Ethiopia's most magical destinations. For many, it is the absolute highlight of their journey across Ethiopia. Mountaintop vistas where countryside extends as far as the eye can see, only to be broken by the rise of jagged peaks on the horizon. The quiet of a countryside walk swiftly juxtaposed by the chaos of a weekly market. Pilgrims adorned in white robes joining together in prayer and song, their voices heard in the farthest corners of the town. The kindness of a local priest, who upon noticing you, brings you a gown as the service begins.
