Our Story


Access Eco Trekking Ethiopia is a trekking company located at the heart of Lalibela. We were established as professional trekking company in 2013 by Wasihun Ayele (Kanu), a young, passionate man who loves and respects nature and loves how it displays the world about the beauty of the highlands of Ethiopia.


The Lasta mountains are another interesting place for everyone to discover the hidden beauty of Ethiopian northern nature. It is here where you can trek to the top of the third highest mountain of Ethiopia, Abuna Yosef, a prominent mountain near the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian Highlands. At 4,260 metres (13,976 ft) it is the 3rd tallest mountain in Ethiopia and the 19th highest of Africa. It is located in the Lasta massif in the Semien Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region.
