Despite the fact that all the volcanoes in the territory of Armenia went extinct many millennia ago, being on the top of them, you can still feel the energy of eruptions. Moreover, petroglyphs located at an altitude of 3000 meters, will help you delve into the past of the volcanic mountains. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Day 1: In the footsteps of volcanic mountains: Ukhtasar<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early in the morning, we will start our journey from Yerevan to the south of Armenia, to feel the energy and power of eruptions, to be in a beautiful corner of our unique country.
