To visit the Caucasus!

Breakfast in the hotel cafe (except the Yuzhnaya Hotel).

13:10 Departure for an excursion to the Chegem gorge.

We fill up with a good mood and rush into the Chegem gorge! The first dash is to the Small Waterfall.

We get out of the transport, take the first shots: the water falls from a height, splashes fly in all directions, refreshing the face. Do you feel a surge of strength? Go ahead!

Back in the cars, we rush further along the winding road that winds along the stormy Chegem River.

My feet are walking along the path, my eyes are running away from the views. The rocks are shrinking closer and closer, the river is thundering louder.

And here it is, the long—awaited finish - the waterfall complex!

We raise our heads: hundreds of jets are falling from a height of tens of meters!

The waterfalls of Su-Azu, also known as "Stone Tears", come crashing down on us with a roar and water dust.

We are actively looking for the best camera angles, taking selfies against the backdrop of the mighty elements, charging up with its energy!

After such a powerful recharge, we switch to the next activity: storming the souvenir market!

We quickly navigate among the bright rows, bargain for the warmest wool socks and sweaters, and taste the local cheese.

And after that, we immediately go to lunch: we consume juicy shish kebab, mouth—watering ham and fragrant tea. This is not the time to relax!

Lunch at a cafe on Chegemsky waterfalls (for an additional fee).

Next, we will have a contrasting program for the Geduco thermal complex (additional charge).

Let's get rid of fatigue and dive into hot pools! We warm our muscles, inhale steam, and charge the body with natural energy.

Free time.

Breakfast lunch box (except the Yuzhnaya Hotel).

06:00 Excursion to the wonderful mountainous region, praised by Vladimir Vysotsky and won the hearts of millions of people – in the Elbrus region.

Here you will be greeted by the giant Elbrus, whose snow-capped slopes attract climbers and extreme sports enthusiasts.

The road through the Baksan gorge is already a kind of quest: serpentines, crossings over the stormy Baksan River, and finally arrival at the Azau clearing.

From here, the cable car ascent begins in three stages (extra charge), which will take you to a height of 3,850 meters!

The first stage — from Azau to Krugozor — is a warm-up.

The second one, before the "World", is already more serious, and the views are getting steeper. The third one is to Gara Bashi— which is the final leap, where the kingdom of ice and wind awaits you.

But it doesn't end there — the Cheget clearing awaits you further.

A chairlift awaits you here (extra charge).

You sit down in an armchair, and now you are soaring over the slopes, feeling the breeze and adrenaline in your blood. From a height of 3,100 meters, there is a view of Elbrus and Donguz-Orun — if, of course, the weather does not let you down.

After such a climb, you will definitely want to refresh yourself — and hearty dishes of Caucasian cuisine are waiting for you in local cafes.

And then the Narzan glade! The water here is beating with such force that you can feel its energy.

It's carbonated, cool, and incredibly invigorating. The stones around the spring are colored orange due to the high iron content - it looks very cool and photogenic. In general, if you are looking for a day full of drive, heights and unforgettable impressions, this tour is for you!

Lunch at the cafe with national cuisine (for an additional fee).

19:00 Return to Pyatigorsk.

Free time.

Breakfast in the hotel cafe (except the Yuzhnaya Hotel)

14:00 Guided tour of the resort town of Pyatigorsk.

Pyatigorsk, the city of Lermontov. Every street here breathes history. Let's stand at the place of the duel of the great poet — the atmosphere is a little sad, but very poignant.

Let's take a look at Lake Failure, the one where Bender "collected for repairs."

And at the top, an Aeolian Harp — gazebo awaits us, where the wind plays its music.

You listen and it seems that it's not just gusts of wind, but a real symphony.

We will finish the day in the Tsvetnik Park, the very heart of Pyatigorsk.

It won't just be an excursion — it's a journey that will stay with you for a long time!

Reboot your taste: intensive courses on Caucasian hospitality" (tasting of Caucasian wines and cognac).

Imagine that each glass is a time machine and a portal at the same time.

Lift it up to the light and you will see a glimmer of the very sun that shone over the slopes of the Caucasus. Inhale the fragrance and you will feel the smell of moist earth after a mountain rain and the warmth of an oak barrel in which the drink gained strength.

In this master class, we will read wine like an ancient treasure map.

Each sip is a story about a specific place, its terroir: about the composition of the soil, about the changes in day and night temperatures, about the direction of the wind.

This immersion will transform you from a simple consumer into a true traveler. You will never again look at a wine shelf in a store as just a row of bottles; for you it will be a shelf with fascinating novels, each of which is waiting to be opened.

An investment in your taste and horizons that will pay off with hundreds of ideal future evenings in good company. This is not an event.

This is an initiation into the cultural code of the Caucasus, which will forever remain with you at the level of taste buds and heartfelt memories.

Dinner Caucasian feast (included in the program price).

21:00 Return to Pyatigorsk.

Free time.

Breakfast lunch box (except the Yuzhnaya Hotel).

06:00 Early departure for an excursion to the Republic of Ingushetia.

Our journey begins on the Georgian Military Road - it meanders like a silver ribbon, the Terek River is bubbling nearby, and rocks like gigantic castles are towering around.

Egical.

An ancient city where time stands still. There are more than a hundred buildings here: battle towers reaching into the sky, residential buildings, mysterious crypts and even an old school.

Walking along these streets, you can easily imagine how life was going on here: you can hear the echoes of laughter, the clink of weapons, conversations in an ancient language. My heart freezes — there is so much strength and so much sadness in these stones. These people lived among the wind and rocks, did not give up, loved this land with all their soul.…

Thaba-Yerdy Temple. It stands on a hill, open to all winds, and its age is a mystery even to scientists. How many people prayed here, how many people decided their fates at the council of elders.Maybe.

But the real magic awaits at the Tsei Loam Pass.

It's not just a mountain — it's the throne of the god Sela, the lord of thunder and lightning.

Look: if the peak is covered with clouds, the village is frowning, and there will be bad weather. If it is visible clean and clear, God is pleased, and the day will be beautiful.

Visit to the Armkhi resort.

Cable car ride (extra charge).

Master class on making the national dish of Ingushetia "Chapilgash"

10:00 Transfer to Borgustanskaya village.

11:00 Visit to the "Cossack farmstead".

Imagine that you are not just going on a field trip, but traveling through time!

Your goal is an authentic "Cossack farmstead", an ancient manor house where every corner breathes the history and hospitality of the Terek Cossacks.

Already at the gate, you are greeted not just by a guide, but by the Hostess herself in traditional attire, with bread and salt and a radiant smile. She will take you into her own world, a world where the Russian oven is the heart of the house, and not just an interior piece.

You will be completely immersed in everyday life!

You will not only hear stories about the life of the Cossacks, but you will also be able to try to light an old fire yourself, feeling what it feels like to light a house at night. You will be given a heavy chopper and a roller for ironing clothes — get ready for hand exercises and bursts of laughter!

And the quest with a yoke and buckets of water will be a real test of dexterity and coordination: carrying and not spilling is an art that has been mastered since childhood.

But the most exciting adventure awaits you ahead — a real Cossack celebration, the ceremony of the "Cossack Wedding"! This is not a performance, but a live action where the guests become the main participants.

Colorful Matchmakers with humor and jokes appear, a handsome Groom and a shy Bride in traditional decoration. You will be involved in the process: you will "woo", sing songs for company, and participate in fun old games.

Get ready to dance to the swashbuckling Cossack songs performed by a real folklore ensemble — it's simply impossible to sit still!

Tables are served in the shade of an old tree or in the coolness of the summer kitchen. That's where the powers come in handy! The main treat is waiting for you — lush, ruddy dumplings with a variety of fillings, cooked according to ancient recipes in the same oven.

You will leave here not just with souvenirs, but with the feeling that you have visited good old friends, charged with incredible energy and warmth and touched something truly original and valuable.

A wide feast with traditional national dishes prepared according to preserved recipes (included in the program price).

14:00 Excursion to Zheleznovodsk.

We continue our day in Zheleznovodsk, such a green and cozy town that it seems as if we have fallen into a fairy tale. The trees here whisper stories from centuries ago, and the air smells of healing mineral waters.

The first stop is an incredible Sundial! This is not just a dial: the sun's rays show time here, and the zodiac signs tell their ancient secrets.

And then there's the elegant Pushkin Gallery. It seems to take us back to the past, to the era of holiday romances and creative evenings. Nearby is a bronze Pushkin, who seemed to freeze for a moment to greet us.

The heart of Zheleznovodsk beats in its legendary springs — drink the life-giving moisture from the Slavyanovsky and Smirnov springs, whose healing power has been tested for centuries.

A majestic cascading staircase decorated with fountains and sculptures will lead you to the mirrored surface of the resort lake, where the water surface reflects the sky and mountain peaks, creating a picture of peace. Our journey is ending and it's time to go home.

18:00 Return to Pyatigorsk.

Departure.
