It is a large city with more than 200,000 inhabitants living in the west of the country. It is an important trading centre in Ethiopia which holds little interest for tourists.

Africa

Welcome to Ethiopia, a land like nowhere else that you will never forget. Ethiopia isn’t a country that can be described; it has to be experienced. Every traveller has their own perception by discovering historical sites, and by following in the footsteps of the Queen of Sheba and the Emperor Haile Selassie. This land has a lot to offer in the diversity of its landscapes and animals from North to South and from East to West. The kindness and the openness of the Ethiopian people will make you feel at home and enrich your life.

The city of Arba Minch is nothing special in itself, but it is an important stop on the south road.
 It is divided into the lower town and the upper town, from where there is a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding lakes (Chamo and Abaya).
 It is worth stopping here just for that, even more so because the ecolodges here are fantastic! Further up in the mountains the land of the Dorze a few kilometres ahead is unmissable, particularly <a href="/ethiopia/">Chencha</a>. 
Stop off at the community of the Dorze weavers who live in traditional huts with remarkable architecture and who sell some of the most well-known materials in the country. You can even take a trip on the Chamo or Abaya lakes to watch the hippopotamus and crocodiles. 
To save time on the road to Omo Valley, I flew straight into Arba Minch from <a href="/ethiopia/">Addis Ababa</a>.
