The 18-meter-high waterfall is located in the Syunik region, north of the city of Sisian. The waterfall's location abounds with gorges featuring steep slopes and rock niches, as well as deep grottos. Traces of human existence dating back to the Old Stone Age have been found in them. The Shaki River, on which the waterfall is formed, flows into the Vorotan and is only 18 km long.
The Tatev cable car is the longest passenger cable car in the world, with a length of almost 6 km. It is also the world's longest non-stop reversible cable car, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. The aerial trip to the monastery takes about 12 minutes. When the first cabin finishes its "flight" at the "Tatev" station, the second one arrives at the "Halidzor" station, and after reloading the "Wings", movement begins in the opposite direction. Passing over the gorge, the cabins reach a maximum height of 320 meters.
Founded in 895–906 by the suzerain of Syunik, Ashot, and his wife Shushan. The monastery was one of the most important centers of science and enlightenment in medieval Armenia. Despite the destruction of a significant number of Armenian monasteries by the Central Asian conqueror Tamerlane in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, Tatev retained its status as a major feudal center. In 1373, Hovhannes Vorotnetsi founded the Tatev University within the monastery, which remained the only functioning university in Eastern Armenia for half a century.
