Operated by Hyur Service · Tatev, Syunik / Vayots Dzor
The day begins before sunrise in Yerevan, tires whispering across open plains as the landscape leans southeast toward Vayots Dzor and Syunik. By mid-morning you stand in Areni’s compact lanes, the warm scent of crushed grapes still in the air — a living link to a 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition. From there the road climbs, the river below daring you to follow it into the Vorotan gorge where the Wings of Tatev ropeway floats silently over forested cliffs.
