From Rust to Roadtrip's video: Secret Hot Springs in Armenia s Disputed Border Region They Warned Us Not To Go Here Vanlife

Join us on our van journey around Armenia as we set out to visit all of Armenia's free natural hot springs 🇦🇲 In this episode of our van travel series we explore the Southern Armenian regions of Vayots Dzor and Syunik in search of Armenia's free wild natural hot springs. Our journey begins with a hike to the Jermuk geyser, a heart-shaped hot spring in the mountains on the disputed border with Azerbaijan. The hike through icy rivers is so awful we take a 4x4 taxi back to the road! Our journey continues to the Vorotan hot spring, a bubbling source in the Vorotan gorge, which we follow down to Tatev and are treated to a surprise April snow shower. After riding the Wings of Tatev, the world's longest reversible aerial tramway, we attempt to visit the Devil's Bridge hot spring, before finishing our journey on the Iranian border, where we get turned around by Russian Peacekeepers.
