In the heart of Kamchatka

A tour to the very "heart" of Kamchatka — to its central part. 

You will see the highest volcanoes of Eurasia, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, make several ascents, visit a tourist town with hot springs and rafting on a beautiful rapids river.

The tour will be interesting, including for those tourists who have already been to Kamchatka and have seen popular places in the southern part of the peninsula, but would like to go back to this amazing land of volcanoes and geysers.
