Rural tours in Armenia 2024

While the traditions of rural life in Armenia have deep historical roots, organized rural tourism in Armenia is a burgeoning industry. Globally, there is a growing interest in ecotourism, and for good reason. Escaping the hustle and bustle of city life and the constant buzz of the office can be truly rejuvenating, and when combined with a program that unveils the undiscovered secrets of a foreign culture, lifestyle, and tantalizing cuisine, your journey becomes doubly fascinating. Embarking on an agrotour in the Getik Valley offers a unique opportunity to engage with local villagers for two immersive days. You'll have the chance to participate in hands-on masterclasses on Armenian culinary traditions, savor authentic Armenian beverages, all while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, including lush forests, meandering streams, pristine springs, and awe-inspiring valleys and mountains. As part of your rural tourism experience, you can also explore the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge, home to rare and majestic animal species like the Caucasian lynx, Caucasian leopard, Bezoar goat, Armenian mouflon, Caucasian bear, bearded vulture, Eurasian griffon vulture, black vulture, and golden eagle. This tour is complemented by a rich cultural program that includes visits to local attractions. We take pride in infusing elements of rural tourism into each of our excursion programs, enhancing your journey through Armenia with authentic and enriching experiences.
