13th-century monastery. It was abandoned after Armenian genocide of 1915 and then blown up in 1960s. Today it's no more than ruins.

This canyon is a like a time machine, where once you are past the top of the village, traces of modern life disappear. You are left with beautiful cliffs, forests, rivers, cascades, caves with deep carvings resembling Mayan or Aztec work, and a small camping area with a tree-house, a tiki-style bar, and other shelter made from the sticks and logs of the canyon. It is an awesome place where a guide will take you in, and set up your camping and food for you. Just call!
There is also a shop selling jams, wines and juices.
