Eagle canyon


 Eagle canyon is located near town Dedoplistskaro in south Kakheti. Canyon belongs to Vashlovani protected area. It is very easy to hike to canyon from town and return back the same day by foot. It is one of touristical routes of Vashlovani national park. Here are many endemic plants, this is also perfect place for bird watching. Canyon  is available all year, but best time to visit is May - June, at flowering season.

  



Nearby is unexplored archaeological site. And rocks of canyon care footprints of old times when this area was covered by water.

In canyon there are several waterfalls.






If the weather is good, then from canyon is good view on Great Caucasus range. But I wasn't lucky.








 


It is recommended to go there with guide from national park. Administration of Vashlovani national park is in town Dedoplistskaro.
