type in the world.
Land features provide enormous natural beauty. The
Tiss Issat Falls, situated near the beautiful town of Bahar Dar, are

of the Simien Mountains. The National Parks offer opportunities for travel
adventure unparallel in Africa. The rift valley region with the associated
natural hot springs and Lakes are the nation's various attractions for tours,
