Hell’s Canyon

Hell's Canyon, also known as Aratso Canyon, is a natural gorge in the southeastern part of the Ararat Province of Armenia, near the border with Nakhchivan. The canyon stretches approximately 25 km, with rock walls reaching 100-400 m in certain sections and a very narrow width. The site is known as one of the most challenging routes for trekking and canyoning, with sections requiring passage through the riverbed and crossing water obstacles. Access is typically from the villages of Tigranashen or Vedi.
