Travora
/ Armenia
The world's oldest Christian nation, where stone monasteries face the snowy Mount Ararat.
Armenia is a small Caucasus country rich in millennia of history, clifftop monasteries and warm hospitality. For a Cameroonian traveler it is an affordable, refreshingly different destination, with generous food and dramatic mountain scenery.

Good to know
