ARIZONA

Arizona is not famous for its cities but for its natural resources

The Grand Canyon is an immense gorge created by the Colorado
River in northern Arizona and is considered one of the most beautiful and famous natural wonders in the world.
The first European to sight the Grand Canyon was the Spaniard García López de Cárdenas, who in 1540 left New Mexico in search of the mysterious river that the Hopi Indians were talking about.
However, long before these discoveries, the area was already inhabited by Native Americans who built their settlements within the canyon walls.
The Grand Canyon, which is actually an extensive system of connected canyons, is not the largest nor the deepest canyon in the world, but it is considered valuable for the combination of size, depth and exposure of the colorful stratifications of rocks that date back to the Precambrian period.

Imposing rocks rise in the red desert. Monument Valley is one of the most enchanting places in the world. Everyone has already seen her in some movies or photos; located north-east of the Grand Canyon you will fall in love with its boundless landscapes of its fuchsia-colored sunsets.
We are in the Navajo Nation and only Indians live in these areas.

The Wine Region

Absolutely not to be missed is the Kakheti wine region . Although we tend to think that the production of wine is a purely Mediterranean invention, we must prove it wrong. In fact, the oldest wine in the world originates from this region, and has 8,000 years of history!
Here the wine is still produced with ancient techniques, such as the use of kvevris , large clay vessels used for fermentation. Georgian wines have on average a higher alcohol content than European Mediterranean wines. This peculiarity is due to the fact that during the aging process these huge clay pots are completely buried, except the upper part. In this way the fermentation is carried out both for the must and for the marc, thus making the final product more alcoholic. For this reason, visiting a local Kakheti winery and attending a tasting is a must!

Food

Not to be missed are the Khinkali, Georgian ravioli usually filled with a mixture of minced beef and pork (the “kalakuri” variety) or in the variants with mushrooms, potatoes or cheese. They originate from the mountains of the central Greater Caucasus

Kolkheti National Park

Kolkheti National Park is one of the ten national parks in Georgia . It extends between the regions of Mingrelia-Upper Svanezia and Guria in the historical region of Colchis , in western Georgia . The park is located on a coastal plain on the Black Sea and runs through the resorts of Zugdidi , Khobi , Lanchkhuti , Senaki and Abasha. The park was established between 1998 and 1999 as part of the Georgia Integrated Coastal Management Project. It covers an area of 28 940 hectares.
