11 more

We invite you to take a trip to the Krasnoyarsk Territory – the land of taiga forests, towering mountain peaks and great Siberian rivers. This tour is like a secret door to the world of nature of incredible beauty, which we will contemplate throughout our route.

The journey begins in the capital of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the ancient city on the Yenisei – Krasnoyarsk. Here you will see wonderful mountains, stone rocks of bizarre shape rising above the green taiga, a mighty river, Krasnoyarsk Pillars.

Next, the path leads us to the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory – to the city of Yeniseisk, which is often called the father of Siberian cities. A boat trip along the Yenisei awaits us, a trip to the kingdom of hundreds of rocks and thousands of stones lost in the Eastern Sayans.

It is located between the Mana River and its right tributary, the Mina, 140 km as the crow flies southeast of Krasnoyarsk in the Partizansky district. The total length of the ridge is about 40 km. On its spur are scattered remains-pillars of various shapes up to 27 meters high. The Kuturchinsky White Mountains are interesting because most of the pillars are located in an open space where the forest does not cover the rocks.
They are intricately composed of granite strata. The rocks have different names, probably acquired in different epochs from the peoples who lived in this area – Zaisky, Alginsky, Chan, Yurginsky, Sable. Some researchers are sure that the Kuturchins are not of natural origin, but are the ruins of an ancient civilization. You will see for yourself that this place is a taiga fairy tale with thousands of clearings covered with moss and lichen, windfall and kurumnik. Let's go!
