Day 2 - Gorely Volcano
We get up early, have breakfast and go to the southern group of volcanoes.
We have a very busy program for the next three days.
The weather in this part of the peninsula is very unstable, so the route may change based on weather conditions.
We will drive 110 km by cross-country car (travel time is approximately 4-5 hours and depends on the condition of the roads).
The first in our program is the active Gorely volcano, whose height is 1829 m.
Upon arrival, we have a snack and go climbing (climb ~ 700-750 m, distance 4.5 km in one direction).
The ascent is not difficult and in good weather we will be able not only to look into two of the eleven Gorely craters, but also to see the Vilyuchinsky volcano.
We return to the camp, where lunch is waiting for us.
If we make it in time today, we will reach the lava caves of Gorely volcano.
We return, share our impressions, have dinner and go to bed.
Overnight in tents.
Day 3 - The waterfall in the canyon is dangerous
Today we are also waiting for an early ascent and a waterfall in the canyon is Dangerous. This is an amazing waterfall!
Its height is about 80 meters. The view opens 50-60 meters. The rest of the power of the water dives into a glacier that has been dormant for years.
Look around and believe that you are almost in the Grand Canyon. Unbelievable!
After that, we have a snack and go to the parking lot.
We have dinner and go to bed. Overnight in tents.
Day 4 - Small valley of geysers
Today we will visit the so-called Small Valley of Geysers.
This place has nothing to do with the famous Valley of Geysers, but the views here are also very impressive.
Hot springs are an active fumarole field, the gases of which heat the cold water of a mountain stream, and as a result, fountains of hot water and steam can be observed.
In addition, there are hot springs with blue clay where you can swim.
We have lunch and move to the village of Paratunka.
On the way, we will stop at the waterfall on the Calm stream.
Let's stop at the recreation center. Hurray!

We will even master several movements of the national dance.
We will have lunch in a warm yurt-like yaranga, and from the dishes we will try local Kamchatka fish soup and tortillas cooked over a campfire.

We're going light.
We admire the stunning views of the Koryak volcano and the Pacific Ocean.

We are setting up a tent camp, today we are spending the night in tents.
Day 9 - Climbing the Flat Tolbachik
Today we will climb the active volcano Plosky Tolbachik, whose height is 3140 m.

But an amazing picture awaits us at the top: a huge crater, 3 km in diameter and 400 m deep, with steep walls inside.

Tour organizer's comments

A real volcano hike awaits you. This is not an easy walk! All transitions are carried out light (without backpacks), but otherwise it is a real hike, do not be misled by the imaginary lightness.

We will walk a lot (up to 20 km per day), up and down volcanoes and trails, sometimes with very steep slopes, and sometimes without a trail at all (elevation differences of 1000 meters!). In total, we will walk about 100 km in fourteen days of the tour and gain almost 3,500 m of altitude! To cope with this, you need good physical shape.
