Snowy Kamchatka

In the morning we leave Paratunka and go to the Lighthouse Cape, famous for the oldest lighthouse in the Far East.

First, we will drive cars, and then we will transfer to sleds attached to snowmobiles — we will drive 12 km in one direction on them.

On the way, we will explore Avacha Bay and stop at the observation deck with a view of the Three Brothers rocks protruding from the water.

At the end of the route, we will find ourselves at the top of a 200-meter Lighthouse Cape.

There will be an endless Pacific Ocean ahead, and the cliffs of the eastern coast on the sides.

On the cape you will see an old lighthouse: it was built in 1897 and is still in operation.

After a short tour, we will board snowmobiles again and go down to the shore of Avacha Bay. Here we will set a table with salmon and caviar snacks, sweets and hot tea.

After resting, we will go back to the hotel along the familiar route.

This day can be devoted to independent exploration of Kamchatka, relaxing holidays or winter fun.

On the territory of the Laguna base there is an ice rink, a tubing slide, a new sauna with a steam room and a font.

In the evening, you can cook dinner on the barbecue and sit around the campfire.

On request, for an additional fee, a trip to the Snow Dogs kennel, an ethnographic program or the Zelenovsky Lakes thermal springs:

You will visit the camp of the indigenous people of Kamchatka, which is now an open-air ethnic museum. The village is called "Children of the North".

Here you can get acquainted with the traditional way of life of local peoples, drink Koryak herbal tea, and admire the views of Home volcanoes.

The villagers talk about the peculiarities of the culture of the indigenous peoples of Kamchatka, show their songs and dances.

To fully immerse themselves in the local specifics, travelers master dog sledding. This traditional form of transport for the North is still used in everyday life, but it has also become a sport.

Beringia dog sledding competitions are held annually in Kamchatka. This is an international event, attended not only by participants from Russia, but also from other countries.

Here it is suggested to try yourself in the role of kayurs. But before you get into a dog sled, experienced teamsters tell you about the habits of dogs, their pedigree, and the rules that are followed when riding in a dog sled.

Not every dog is suitable for such a role, but only special riding breeds — huskies, huskies. They are very intelligent and hardy animals, and sledding is their life, which they enjoy and feel a sense of accomplishment.

You are driving along a specially trodden safe highway, accompanied by snowmobiles.

By managing the dogs, who, however, know perfectly well what to do, travelers get an unforgettable experience and impressions.

Rushing through the snowy expanses on a dog sled is something that energizes for a long time.

Optional trip to the Dangerous Canyon and Summer springs for an additional fee:

In the morning, you will drive jeeps south from the recreation center, to an area with high volcanic activity.

The group will drive through the Paratunsky forests to the mountain pass, which will take less than an hour.

From here, from a kilometer—high altitude, you can see the panorama of the valley and, very close, the regular cone of the Vilyuchinsky volcano.

Next, we will go to the Dangerous waterfall, which is located on the slopes of one of the most active volcanoes in Kamchatka — Mutnovsky.

The waterfall is formed by a sulphurous Volcanic river: it originates in a crater, runs three kilometers through a gorge and in one place breaks down in a turbid stream from a height of 80 meters.

The combination of a volcano, waterfall and canyon in one place has made it a world-class natural monument.

Small Valley of geysers. This is a part of the mountain valley, which is also called Dacha hot springs, located at the foot of the Mutnovsky volcano and is considered the largest group of the Mutnovsky springs complex.

Mud pots are boiling here, fumaroles are steaming. The hot gas passes through the cold water of the stream and heats it up. You will be guided along a safe route and shown all this activity.

The group of volcanoes closest to Petropavlovsk is called "home volcanoes", they will be visible from the airport.

We will explore two of the highest of them: the active Koryaksky (3,456 m) and Avachinsky (2,741 m).

To do this, we will go in a snowmobile sled to the Avachinsky pass, which is located between volcanoes, the length of the path is 55 km.

Here we will ride through the snow-white expanses and see the giants from a close distance.

During one of the ancient eruptions, a small twin—topped Camel mountain rose on the pass.

Its height is only 200 meters, but it offers panoramic views of Avacha Bay, Petropavlovsk and both neighboring volcanoes.

If desired, it will be possible to climb the mountain: in winter it is much easier to do this than in summer, because snowmobiles cover part of the way and only about 100 meters remain to walk.

At the end of the tour, we will set a table with hot tea and snacks, relax a little and return to Paratunka.

Breakfast and departure from the hotel.

We will arrange a transfer to the airport for you and say goodbye.

But let's hope to see you soon!
