Excursion to Machakhela gorge

Excursion to Machakhela gorge – this area is famous for its virgin Colchis forests, which have survived in a very small number of places in Georgia. Local craftsmen were famous throughout Georgia for the quality of their firearms. Nature untouched by a human hand, the power of a mountain river with peacefully swaying suspension bridges, rumbling waterfalls and silence – this is what makes you freeze every time you look at the landscapes of the gorge.

  • The Monument to the Machakhela Firearm is one of the local attractions. It was the arms craft that made the masters of Machakhela famous throughout Adjara. During the war with the Ottoman Empire, the production of weapons was established here.
  • The cannon – an echo of the Soviet era
  • The arched bridge of Tskhemlara (12th century) harmoniously complements the picturesque landscape, built of fragments of rocks, fastened with lime mortar. Simple materials and construction have survived more than one millennium.
