Trip to Valley of the giants
22.06 - 01.07
"it's midnight in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky" - that's what most of russians remember from radio programmes. Kamchatka is a truly unique place of Russia. Almost everyone has heard about it, but few people have been there. The remoteness is to blame — it's far and isolated from the main continent. Until recently Kamchatka was completely closed for visits due to high concentration of military constructions there. There is no motorway or railway to reach the peninsula. Sea cruises were cut off long ago. The only transport is an airplane. The flight Moscow-Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky takes 8 hours, but it's not until the moment the plane starts landing when you realize it was worth it. Right from the window you see two active volcanoes located near the city — Koryaksky and Avachinsky.


What is so attractive about the region? Talking about myself — I travelled around more than 50 countries, but I've never seen anything similar. The fauna and flora is diverse but completely unspoilt. The forests hide various animals — groundhogs to bears. The rivers are full of salmon, and the ocean is diven by whales. The highest active volcano of the continent is here — Klyuchevskaya sopka (4750 metres)


I am now offering a tour to the most remote and breathtaking places of the island. We will visit the locations of eruption of 2012, the size of which fascinates — the volume of lava, ash, volcanic waste is more that 1 cubic kilometer/1000 billion litres. One day we are going to spend in the ocean and most probably will meet its unique inhabitants like killer whales, whales and sea lions. But the main spot of our trip is the Valley of the Giants — the biggest volcanic mountain chain with Klyuchevskaya Sopka. That is not all that is included in the trip, you will see a number of picturesque places and have a lot of activities like bbq in lava and seafood tasting. Also we will take a snowmobile ride up to active volcanoes Mutnovsky and Gorely.


If you ever dreamed of visiting a volcano crater, I am inviting you on an adventure of a lifetime around Kamchatka with me. The details are available below.
