Martvili Canyon is a natural wonder located in the Martvili Municipality of Georgia. The canyon stretches for more than 2 kilometers and is surrounded by lush forests and towering cliffs. The canyon was formed by the Abasha River over millions of years and is now a popular tourist destination for its crystal clear waters, stunning waterfalls, and picturesque landscapes.
In 2016, the canyon was transformed into a tourist attraction, with the construction of wooden bridges and walkways that allow visitors to explore the canyon safely. The main attraction of Martvili Canyon is the boat ride, which takes visitors through the canyon and allows them to admire its natural beauty up close. The boat ride takes approximately 30 minutes and allows visitors to see the canyon's hidden waterfalls and stunning rock formations.
Visitors should come prepared with comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a camera to capture the stunning views. The canyon is open year-round, but the best time to visit is from April to October when the weather is mild and the water is at its clearest.
The canyon is located approximately 280 kilometers (174 miles) from Tbilisi, and 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the city of Kutaisi. It is easily accessible by car or public transportation.
Whether you are a nature lover, history buff, or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the city, Martvili Canyon is a must-visit destination that will leave you in awe of Georgia's natural beauty.
