New Year holidays in the mountains of Adygea

We will feel the comfort of a forest house, a living fire and the serenity of quiet evenings, as well as the hospitality and delightful nature of the mountainous region of Adygea on a New Year's tour.

We will talk about the history and mysteries of the Caucasian dolmens, about the emergence of construction technology and the mysterious disappearance of the grandiose culture of dolmen builders. Let's go sledding — we are waiting for frisky flights down the snowy slope. Let's go to the "Island of Love" and get into a real winter fairy tale! 

For those who want to get even more vivid emotions and extreme impressions, we suggest going on a rafting trip along a mountain river.
