Let's start our tour to Areni and visit "Hin Areni" wine factory. Here a small and informative excursion with wine tasting is waiting for us. 

After observing Areni we will countinue our trip toTatev. Among the architectural pillars of Zangezour the monastery of Tatev doesn't have its rivals. This used to be wealthiest medieval monastery in Armenia. Besides being a religious center Tatev was also the important strategical center of Syunik kingdom. Being situated on a naturally defended place Tatev monastery has always been an impregnable fortress for alien. 

Here we will take an unforgettable trip by the longest ropeway of the world.  Church bells were ringing loud in Tatev on October 16 of 2010, heralding the launch of a program to revive a medieval monastic complex and the opening of an aerial tramway called Wings of Tatev. The 5.7-kilometer ropeway was built within 11 months, passes through a deep gorge of the River Vorotan and over hills covered with lush forests. Two cabins operate at once, traveling in opposite directions. There are six cables altogether (3 for each cabin), each uniquely foreseen for the specifications of this project. Within about 11 minutes a tramway cabin takes passengers, 25 at a time, from the village of Halidzor to the magnificent complex of Tatev.

The last point of interest will  be Kndzoresk. Khndzoresk is located at a distance of 8 km from Goris. The village is famous for its natural stone carpets. Old Khndzoresk is situated on the two slopes of the mountainous valley. There were no flat areas on those slopes for building settlements and for this reason people used caves. Recently a unique structure - a "swinging bridge" has been opened in Khndzoresk the length of which is 160 metres, the height from the deepest point in the gorge is 63 metres and the width is 1,5 metres. 700 people simultaneously can go across this bridge weighing 14 tons. The bridge from where opens a magnificent view connects the two banks of old Khndzoresk.

After finishing our long, interesting and informative tour we will be back to Yerevan city.
