Day 4 - Trip to Tolmacheva Lake
Breakfast and transfer to Tolmacheva Lake.
The one-way trip takes at least 3 hours. But it passes through berry fields, where bears can often be seen.
Our camp is located right on the shore of Tolmacheva Lake.
We will take a motorboat ride across the lake to the opposite shore, where people rarely get to. That is why bears feel safe here and come to feed on delicious berries.
After lunch in a cozy house on the shore of the lake, we will walk to the mar.
About 4,600 years ago, an eruption occurred here, leaving behind flat-bottomed craters in which lakes formed.

Day 5 - Country hot springs and Dangerous Canyon
After breakfast, transfer by prepared car to the Mutnovskaya geothermal power plant.
The transfer takes about 2 hours, along the way we will make several stops at the observation decks.
Exit to the route that starts immediately from the geothermal station.
We will walk along a dense hiking trail to the beginning of the fumarole field. It is here that mud pots, boiling fountains are located, and the slopes are covered with colorful clay.
Return to the car, lunch.
There is a Dangerous canyon near the Mutnovsky volcano, where we will go by jeep.
The Vulkanaya River flows down from the slopes of the Mutnovsky volcano and feeds on snowfields and glaciers, which melt intensively in summer. Coming out of the craters, the Volcano rushes in a frenzied stream along a channel cut through in lava deposits, and 3 km below it falls from a steep ledge — from a height of about 80 m — into a narrow gap.
The edges of its steep walls are split by cracks, some areas are ready to collapse, and therefore this gorge is called the canyon "Dangerous".
Dinner from the chef and overnight at the chalet.
