Do not miss the opportunity to go through the Chusovaya from beginning to end, see the villages, forests and stone fighters described in the book, find out where the Voguls lived, and find the cave where the treasure of Pugach was hidden.

Tour organizer's comments

Kayak management is quite simple and convenient, so we usually say that a beginner can handle it.

On this tour, since the route is planned to be long in mileage, it is important that you go kayaking, packrafts, boats or catamarans at least several times, and you are also quite active — you can go on a small trekking trip, participate in races, ride a bike, etc
