Protected since 2011 by UNESCO World Heritage, the Konso Cultural Landscape is named after its agriculturist inhabitants, who have moulded their 230km2 homeland into the productive agricultural land. A striking feature of Konso is the concentrated walled villages or hilltop paleta. These unusual constructions create a maze-like feeling and are only towered over by generation poles which are erected every 18 years to celebrate a new generation. The Konso are also renowned for their waka grave-markers, anthropomorphic hardwood statues carved to mimic the deceased, and for their communally constructed reservoirs.
“We enjoyed the tour immensely. It was a great mix of luxury and local culture, the cycling suited us and the guides and drivers were excellent. They were able to adapt to our needs and requirements. Julie’s special dietary requirements were more than satisfied.
