Treasures of the Caucasus

27  Days /  25 Nights

For years the art, old crafts, and cultural traditions of these gems of the Caucasus lay undiscovered by the rest of the world.  Now we have the opportunity to observe their emergence first-hand, as well as experience the beautiful mountain scenery, unforgettable monasteries, and the joyful people who love to dance, sing and sample their own cognac and wine! The combination of these three countries offers an interesting cross-cultural travel experience as you discover their ethnic, linguistic and religious histories.
