Travelling to the Sahara, means entering an environment unlike our everyday world: without urban life, it does not follow the same rules.

This is a remarkable demonstration of how the landscape is constantly being shaped into scenes of extraordinary, indescribable beauty.

It's a trip full of sensations cultural and at the same time splendid landscapes. Unbelievable, isn't it?

Travelling to Ethiopia on New Year's Eve means exploring dreamlike natural settings and meeting a wide range of ethnic groups. Ethiopia evokes groups such as the Hamer, Surmi and Mursi, the latter known for their distinctive gourd or clay lip plates.
Its high plateau is the largest in Africa and extends from the Red Sea to the Blue Nile plains. Impressive canyons, ravines and gorges cut through this vast high plateau, with mountains that rise to 4000 m.
A beautiful country in which to enjoy the human diversity generated by different cultures and their way of facing the environment and life.

Travel to Ethiopia in the South means travelling to the ancient past. Its impressive canyons, ravines and gorges break this immense high plateau, with mountains rising to 4000 m. The country’s south is part of sub-Saharan Africa, is the slow beauty of Omo River, where culturally diverse peoples live together.
As Reverte describes “Ethiopia does not resemble any country in Africa, and it could also be said that no country in the world. It is a nation that is based on myths rather than on history, a nation that travels in time on the horse of reality and legend."
