Erta Ale

Ethiopia is home to the world’s longest existing lava lake, located on the grounds of the country’s most active volcano—Erta Ale. Often described as the “gateway to hell”, this smoking volcanic terrain is one of the most inhospitable places on Earth, but that’s not stopping local companies from offering tours in the area that include military escort.

Blue Nile Falls

Just like many other African countries, Ethiopia is home to a beautiful waterfall that will take your breath away. Blue Nile Falls consists of four cascading streams and it’s 52 meters high. It’s also known by the nickname Tis Abay, which can be translated as “great smoke”.

Dallol

With an average annual temperature of around 35°C, Dallol is often described as the hottest place on the planet. That’s also the reason why it’s one of the most remote places on Earth, but its rusty orange and green salt formations will still leave you speechless.

The unique thing about this place is that it’s the hottest (and driest) inhabited location on the planet.

Dallol Desert is located in the Afar Region of north-east Ethiopia and is a home of few active volcanoes, including Arta Ale. There are multiple lava lakes and sulfur pools that give the area its unique colorful look.

You may think that the photos have been enhanced using the software, but they are actually as real as possible.

Visiting Dallol is an adventure that can potentially be dangerous. If you decide to do it, be prepared for hours of driving, taking extra steps to stay hydrated, and sleeping in very basic accommodations. Don’t attempt to go anywhere without a local guide and armed escort.
