This breathtaking site offers incredible trekking and stunning scenery. The Simien Mountains National Park was awarded as a Natural World Heritage Site in 1979; UNESCO proclaimed it as “one of the world's most spectacular landscapes, with jagged mountain peaks, deep valleys and sharp precipices dropping some 1,500m”. The Simiens also form one of Ethiopia's most important biodiversity hotspots, populated by a rich collection of endemic plants and the park provides the natural habitat for animals including the Walia ibex, gelada baboon and Ethiopian wolf.
