Sayan mosaic. 5-day tour

4 more

Imagine: You wake up in the only eco-chalet in southern Siberia, Gladenkaya, among the jagged Sayan ridges. Next, you will enjoy a panorama of the gigantic Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, a walk along the Yenisei embankment, rest on the pier and tasting Siberian cuisine under the sound of the great river.

Go hiking in the protected "Shushensky forest" and climb Mount Borus through the centuries-old cedars. And then there's the time machine: a lively 19th—century Russian village in the Shushenskoye Museum and merchant Minusinsk with its gingerbread mansions, Siberia's oldest theater, and legendary tomatoes.
