Essential tour that allows to visit the most important place from the geological point of view
PLACES VISITED:
Tajura: white city located on the same name gulf, ancient capital of the Afar kingdom from where the caravans used to depart to the Ethiopian highlands.
Lake Assale: this salty lake (330 gr per liter), at 153 m under the sea level, is a spectacular view with its blue water surrounded by salty white sand
Lake Abbe: on the south part of the lake there are strange calcareus shapes, up to 50 mt high, old volcanic chimneys, some of them still active,that create unreal lanscape. Around the chimneys, hot springs generate grasslands where the small cattles graze.
