HIKING TO LASTIVER WATERFALL WITH OUR SOUTH KOREAN GROUP Hiking through the beautiful forests in the majestic Tavush Province of Armenia. After a long day, getting relaxed around a bonfire at the Apaga Resort in Yenokavan, and having a cozy birthday party dinner with Armenian wine and Chinese food in Yerevan (Tavush Province, Armenia June 2015) Lastiver Waterfall is located in the Tavush Province of Armenia. Most of Tavush, which is in the northeast of Armenia, is covered with lush forests and green zones. The area is also plentiful in rivers. The largest is Aghstev with one of its significant tributaries, the Khachakhpyur River, that leads to the wonderful corner of Ijevan, the Lastiver. The cave, desert, swift river, small and large waterfalls, forests and spectacular nature - tourists from around the world, as well as the locals, love to come to Lastiver and see this natural attraction. During the Mongol invasions in 13th and 14th century locals found their shelter in the Lastiver Cave. The cave is located on almost flat slope of the canyon. In order to reach the cave people had to construct a ladder, made of superposed logs. The ladder reminded a raft. That's the reason it has been called the “Lastiver”, which is translated from Armenian as “up the raft”.
