Armenia is to be found in the Caucasus Mountain system. Armenia is largely mountainous but the terrain is also varied and you will find valleys, large forested areas, as well as desert terrain, and many rivers and lakes. The largest of Armenia's Lakes is Lake Sevan with its National Park covering one-sixth of Armenia.

Armenia lies in the highlands surrounding the Biblical mountains of Ararat, upon which Noah's Ark is said to have come to rest after the flood.
