The arid plains on Ethiopia’s high plateaus reach an altitude of 4,000 metres. The first humans on the planet originated from here more than 3 million years ago. The country is divided into 9 ethnic states.

On the mountain slopes, the locals have carved out troglodyte churches, today part of the world heritage list. They bear witness to a unique people, the only Africans never to have been colonised.
