Trek to Aterow community
The walk this time on the northern side of the escarpment. This time the midway point is the attractive church Giyorgis yard
at Gecha Mender . In the afternoon you could drop down to a level below the escarpment to pass by the old
church of Akat Abo and it lovely woodland. The land around is irrigated with local streams and there are crops year
round. A little below Akat Abo, is a small rock church called Akat Markos. If your guide can find the priest this is
worth the detour – if your legs are up to the climb down and up. After climbing back up to the plateau you quickly
come to Aterow Aragawi, the parish church of the Aterow community. Aterow is the best Gelada Baboon spotting
site, with quite sizable troops living on the cliffs that head down to the gorge. This day walk could take around 5hrs.
