«More than a photography trips is a personal and photographic experience. It is impossible to imagine a better place to take photographs.»

This is how this journey is defined Juancho Pozuelo, the guide and photographer accompanying this trip.

The group has arrived at the Lake Afrera and, after spending the night in a spectacular setting, they headed towards the Erta Ale volcano.

“After seeing the first traces of lava and spending five hours bouncing along a track, we reached Lake Afrera and its salt mines. Tonight we’re sleeping at the exact spot shown in the photo published on 5 November, taking night photographs and bathing in the extremely salty Lake Afrera.”

Last October, we made a special photo trip to the south of Ethiopia, and rounded it off with a visit to the churches of Lalibela.

There are currently only 5 active lava lakes on the planet. This December we travelled to the east of Ethiopia to photograph one of them: the Erta Ale.

Salt lakes as white as ice, spectacular volcanic eruptions and black lava flows, lakes and geysers painting the surface in a multitude of colours… This is the Danakil, where temperatures reach 50°. The only people able to live here are the Afar pastoralists, who trade in salt extracted from the plain.

A trip to Ethiopia is always special; sometimes, however, it can become something exceptional.
