Поразительное место с древнейшей историей. Стоя на вершине среди древних террас, я будто прикоснулась к прошлым векам - в каждом камне скрыта легенда. Открывающийся вид на каньон завораживает и дарит умиротворение. Развалины старой церкви и пещеры добавляют атмосферу загадочности. Несмотря на разрушения, это место наполнило меня чувством уважения к истории и оставило незабываемое впечатление.

Заезжать на неправильные повороты — это как случайно заходить не в ту дверь жизни. Так вот, нашлась я на тропе, которая привела меня на вершину холма, а не туда, куда планировала. Но оно того стоило. Панорама с высоты заставляет забыть о крутом подъеме и недостатке воды. Кажется, дышишь и наполняешься вековой тишиной. Удобная обувь и свежая вода — мастхэв, если хочешь сходить с ума от красоты без лишнего стресса. В любом случае, место заслуживает пару потерянных по дороге минут.
