When night falls smoothly over the city, the magnificent illumination of the buildings in the Olympic Park turns on, the bright lights shimmer against the dark sky.
When it gets completely dark, the light and music fountain turns on — the hallmark of the park! A huge Olympic torch is lit, at the foot of which a dance of fire and light begins.

Day 4 - Trekking to Orekhovsky Waterfall, ecopark and Azhek waterfall
Sochi National Park is a real treasure trove of waterfalls in the Caucasus!
Today we will see the Orekhovsky waterfall, which is located on the Bezumenka River. It is one of the tallest in the National Park — 27 meters. There is a long staircase with many steps leading to the waterfall, but it's worth it.
The Azhek Ecopark is located nearby. The hike to Azhek is one of the longest in the program of our tour.
A comfortable path leads along the Sochi River through a real rainforest, where moss, ferns grow, ivy twine through the trees.
The shaggy boxwood, an evergreen inhabitant of the local forests, adds a special fabulousness to these places. During the May holidays, stunning purple rhododendrons bloom in this gorge.
The path descends to the river, runs over rocks, jumps through trees and soon leads to a waterfall. The dark walls of the gorge rise smoothly, and long ivy swings on them like vines.
