If you want to find yourself in one of the most extraordinary natural places on our planet, then this tour is exactly what you are looking for. The Lost World is the nickname of Kamchatka. Connected to the rest of the world only by a thin isthmus, this land the size of France has remained untouched by civilization and has hardly changed since the Earth was a young, fast developing planet. The huge picturesque open-air museum, the world-famous Valley of Geysers, and the exotic Uzon valley are all situated in the Kronotsky state wildlife reserve, one of the oldest nature reserves in Russia. You’ll find unique species of flora and fauna and breathtaking landscapes with fountains of steamingwater active volcanoes, thermal lakes, and pulsating mud pools. Brown bears, deer and various birds roam free in this wilderness. During the trek, you will see a natural rarity – a beautiful wood of Silver Fir. The magnificent view of the blue lake in the Maly Semyachik volcano crater and the panoramas of the still-erupting Karymsky volcano will remain etched in your memory forever.
