KAMCHATKA CRITTERS AND CRATERS
Written By Admin
The very name ‘Kamchatka’ is enough to stir the soul of the most intrepid adventurer.
Few other places can create such a profound sense of stepping back in time and leaving civilisation far behind then Russia’s Kamchatka. Millions of years of volcanic activity have carved Kamchatka into a place of strangely prehistoric, undulating landscapes. Seen from the air, stark lava fields, gaping craters and mountainous tundra contrast with lush forests and shimmering lakes and rivers and the endless blue depths of the Pacific Ocean. With no roads or railways connecting it to the outside world, it’s no surprise that Kamchatka is a haven for wildlife.
Kamchatka tours will get you closer than you ever imagined to the wild inhabitants of the peninsula. Kamchatka is one of the few places where you can walk among brown bears as they fish for salmon in the rivers. You’ll also cruise along the Pacific coast to discover a spectacular abundance of marine mammals and birds. Climb to the summit of Avachinsky volcano, stroll through the Valley of Geyers and see Kamchatka’s most spectacular natural monuments by helicopter. You won’t go without your creature comforts though – we wind down each day at a luxurious spa resort surrounded by Kamchatka’s hot springs.
