Cappadocia & Taurus Trek

Traversee du Taurus avec Dijon Travel

With its unique geological formations, Cappadocia is incontestably a phantasm of nature and almost another planet. In the volcanic rock, the wind, the rain and freezing carved during million years, the most confusing decorations. By traversing with foot the paths in this creation of Nature, you will discover the historical richness being added to the curiosity of the landscapes.

The Taurus Mountains form part of the great mountain range that stretches across all of Asia (the Himalayan belt ). In the centre of Taurus, Aladaglar, its calcareous massif which looks like a dolomite, notched deep gorges and canyons, presents a particular geology responsible for interesting rock formations and waterfalls.

Hike in an attractive topography, meet the inhabitants of the villages of these mountains, who maintain their wandering traditions, share with them the “Yaylas” where they pitch their tents each year. Get to know these people and receive their legendary hospitality, some of the highlights of this trip.
