There are few places remaining on this planet that can be called true wilderness and explored only through adventure, but the savagely beautiful Kamchatka Peninsula in the remote Far East of Russia, across the Bering straight from Alaska, is definitely one. This unique region comparable in size to Japan is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its pristine nature, spectacular geysers and 160 majestic volcanoes of the Ring of Fire out of which 28 are active.
In Kamchatka, the land of impressions and contrasts, you can climb the challenging peaks of the mountains, trek through the plains and valleys aglow with colorful lichens and flowers, have a look into the craters of ancient volcanoes, admire the unique Valley of Geysers and the splendor of grand glaciers, dip into geothermal hot springs, take boat trips in beautiful bays among abrupt cliffs, raft wild rivers. Eco-tourists will particularly enjoy wonderful encounters with the rich Kamchatka’s wildlife – orcas, seals, sea eagles, brown bears, spawning salmon, and other winged and aquatic life.
You are welcome to join the unforgettable adventure in Kamchatka and add stunning pictures and impressions to your nature travel collection.
