Description
Join an extraordinary journey through one of Africa’s most fascinating and culturally rich countries. From the mystical rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the vibrant tribes of the Omo Valley, this expedition offers an intimate encounter with Ethiopia’s living traditions, striking landscapes, and timeless beauty.
Experience the Ethiopian Christmas in Lalibela, one of the most moving religious celebrations in the world — hundreds of pilgrims dressed in white gathering around the ancient churches for prayer, chants, and celebration.
Designed and led by award-winning photographer John Quintero, this exclusive experience combines cultural immersion, expert guidance, and authentic local connections — a journey created for those who seek meaning, depth, and inspiration through travel photography.

JQ delivered his "Up close and personal: a Photographic Journey in South America, Asia and Africa" to Woking Photographic Society. The images were all terrific and some of the stories behind them quite astonishing, all delivered in a very personable style. A thoroughly enjoyable evening and we would love to see more of John's work at some stage in the future.
