The Crater Lakes of Bishoftu

The Crater Lakes of Bishoftu: A popular destination for a reason, Bishoftu (also known as Debre Zeit) is located just 40 km southeast of the capital. This town is famous for its serene crater lakes, which were formed by volcanic explosions. You can relax at one of the boutique resorts on the crater rim, go birdwatching for species like flamingos, or even enjoy a boat trip on one of the lakes. Lake Hora is particularly famous as the site of the annual Irreechaa festival.
