Azerbaijan, Georgia & Armenia Adventure
Head off the beaten track on a 20-day adventure through the Caucuses region, where historical Old Towns and monasteries sit alongside towering skyscrapers. With a local leader by your side, you’ll journey from the Black Sea to huge, shimmering lakes, stopping at wineries, small villages, jazzy capitals and the serene countryside. Enjoy a hearty home-cooked lunch with a local Kakheti family and hike to the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church. Seek bezoars with an expert ranger and stay overnight in a lake cottage supporting inclusiveness. This trip shows you all the local bits (and all the highlights) of this gorgeous mountainous area.
