Itinerary Ethiopia

My trip to Ethiopia was focused on the tribes so I headed to the remote Omo Valley in the south. Ethiopia is a country with rich culture and history, so if you have time, add to your itinerary some days to visit the north (the churches of King Lalibella, Blue Nile Falls, and the Danakil desert are some of the biggest attractions)
