Situated both in Europe and Asia, Russia is a country with a long history, rich culture and magnificent scenery. One will discover an amazing diversity of landscapes, peoples and traditions traveling across the biggest country in the world with an area a little bit smaller than that of Canada and Australia combined.
Although best known for Moscow, St Petersburg, and Golden Ring, the real character of Russia is to be found in the back regions of the country. The traveler who goes beyond the capitals can enjoy the austere beauty of tundra, polar night and aurora borealis on Kola Peninsula, powerful grandeur of Baikal Lake, crystal clear air at the spectacular peaks of the Caucases and Altay, vastness of lakes and taiga forest in Karelia, savage power of volcanoes and geysers in Kamchatka, and the quietness of the gentle green slopes and rivers in Central Russia. Grandiose palaces, peaceful churches and monasteries, cities with typical Soviet structures, traditional Russian and ethnic villages of old wooden houses, political prisoners’ camps, majestic estates, and World War II fortifications are scattered all through the territory of the country.
Grand spaces and unspoilt wilderness combined with the rich culture and history heritage make Russia a fine destination for nature-based discovery travel. We invite you to explore with us true Russia on foot, by jeep, bike, horse, ATV, raft, kayak, snowmobile or skis. An active adventurous travel to a region will be combined with a city break in St Petersburg or Moscow, and our team will be delighted to present the options.
