Georgia is often associated specifically with mountains and alpine landscapes. This is fair, as there are many of them and they are stunning, but it is equally fair to note how many other interesting places and locations exist in 🇬🇪. For example, the canyons.
My TOP canyons in Georgia:
Martvili Canyon (Samegrelo region)
A unique natural monument featuring traces of prehistoric animals. It strikes you with its beauty—cliffs, waterfalls, lush greenery, and azure water. It is very convenient and safe to explore the canyon via organized trails. There is an option for a boat trip through the canyon, which provides a total feeling of being in wild, untouched nature. Recently, the canyon has been enhanced with beautiful 3D animations, and its operating hours have been extended until 23:00.
Okatse Canyon (Imereti region)
Recognized as the most adventurous spot in Georgia. Here, you can walk over a precipice without any risk to your life. The canyon features a suspended walkway that leads to a panoramic viewing platform. It is literally breathtaking! Nearby, you can visit the Kinchkha Waterfall, which has also been enhanced with 3D animations.
Birtvisi Canyons (Kvemo Kartli region)
There are two types: "dry" and "wet." The "dry" canyons consist of a forested area dominated by massive stone canyon formations throughout the territory. They all vary in shape and height, with the highest point reaching 1,200 meters above sea level. This is another amazing and impressive natural monument that will fill you with lasting memories and a sea of emotions.
Dashbashi Canyon or Tsalka (Samtskhe-Javakheti region)
Located in the picturesque Khrami River valley, this canyon is of volcanic origin and spans 8 kilometers of steep, breathtaking slopes. The main attraction is its group of cascading waterfalls. In summer, their emerald waters shimmer amidst lush green foliage, while in winter, they freeze to create a fairytale landscape.
Be sure to visit these canyons if your heart yearns for laid-back hedonism and beautiful views.
