The first mention of it is found in Russian sources of the XVIII century.

This amazing 968-kilometer route starts in Novosibirsk and ends at the border with Mongolia.

The next stop is the Martian Mountains, an amazing place for photographers and lovers of geology.

These hills are painted in bright colors, forming a magical landscape that will take your breath away.

We will find ourselves in the village of Kyzyl-Chin, which translates from Turkic as "red gorge".

Each layer of these mountains was formed in a certain period, and their color tells its own story.

Scientists believe that the red-brown layers appeared more than 300 million years ago, when an ancient salty sea existed here.

Research shows that the water in this sea was salty.

After the glaciations, fresh lakes appeared here, and as a result, the soil of the valley near the Kyzyl-Chin gorge became clay formed at the bottom of an ancient lake.

It is at this time that the green shades also belong.

The rock consists of clay mixed with sandstone and limestone.

Our guide will share interesting facts and legends about this amazing place!

Then we will continue our impressions with an excursion to Geyser Lake, a unique body of water without analogues in Russia.

The water in the lake does not freeze in winter, but in summer it is not suitable for swimming.

There are no descents to the water, the bottom is covered with clay silt and algae.

The water temperature does not rise above +10 degrees, even in the heat.

The lake attracts photographers by creating great shots.

It is said that the lake predicts the future if its drawings are deciphered correctly.

The total length of the journey will be about 170 km, and every minute of this journey will be filled with joy and discoveries!

Additional entrance fee to the Martian mountains is 500 rubles/person, to the Geyser Lake - 200 rubles/person.

It's going to be a busy day.

We will return along the Chuisky highway and make stops in new places where great photos are obtained.
