Altitude: 1,400 to 1,600 m. Population: 110,00. Distance from Addis Ababa: 524 km. Capital of the Gamo Gofa province, Arba Minch ("the forty springs" in Amharic) is divided into the lower town, Sikela, and the upper town, Shecha, whose airy urbanization creates a peaceful atmosphere and where we recommend a stay. Partly perched on a promontory, Arba Minch opens onto one of the country's most breathtaking panoramas, towards the Nechisar plains and lakes Abaya and Chamo. For those coming from Addis Ababa, Arba Minch is perceived as a frontier between two worlds, the last city stop before "diving" into a mysterious, tribal and fascinating region, the hidden face of a little-known Ethiopia, that of the peoples of the South, from Konso to the Omo Valley.
