Le lac Kari, ou « lac de pierre », est un lac d’altitude à couper le souffle situé sur le mont Aragats, servant de source à la rivière Arkashen. À proximité, la forteresse d’Amberd, une place forte médiévale du VIIe siècle, offre des vues magnifiques et une grande importance historique. L’église de Vahramashen, datant du Xe siècle, présente un travail de pierre complexe, tandis que Saghmosavank, un monastère du XIIIe siècle surplombant une gorge, met en valeur le riche patrimoine ecclésiastique de l’Arménie. Ensemble, ces sites illustrent la beauté naturelle du pays et son histoire culturelle.
