A harsh and unrepeatable land, unique in landscape and biological diversity, exceptional in beauty and scale. Birch and coniferous forests, tundra, rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, mountains, active and decaying volcanoes, fumaroles and lava fields, geysers and thermal springs, rare species of birds, and plants brought into the Krasnaya niga. All this is Kamchatka!

Some say that Russia begins in Kamchatka, others believe that it ends here. Its residents are the first in the country to start a new day and raise their glasses on New Year's Eve, it is only 4 kilometers to America here, and to Moscow - 9 hours by plane. The largest and most active volcano in Eurasia is located on the peninsula, houses are heated with thermal water from the ground, and many interesting places can only be reached by helicopter or after a couple of days of walking.

During the Soviet era, the peninsula was closed not only for foreigners, but also for Soviet citizens - to get here, you had to issue a special permit. Anyone can go to Kamchatka today.

You will find yourself on the peninsula, where there are almost a thousand fire-breathing giants! Moreover, about 30 of them are active. Some of the volcanoes rarely erupt, doing so every few hundred or even thousands of years, while others demonstrate their power every decade, or even more often. The Volcanoes of Kamchatka Nature Park, the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, and the South Kamchatka Nature Reserve are UNESCO World Heritage Site under the general name Volcanoes of Kamchatka. There are more than 150 mineral springs in Kamchatka! The water in them is rich in useful elements and is hot - you can swim here even in January frosts. The Khodutka springs in the southeast of the peninsula merge into a whole hot river, the water temperature near its banks reaches + 77 ° С! You can get to them as part of a helicopter tour. Take a walk in the waters of the largest bay on the planet. Avacha Bay stretches for 215 square kilometers off the coast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. It is the second largest after the Brazilian Guanabara and locals like to say that the merchant fleet of all countries of the world could fit here. A date with Kamchatka bears will not leave anyone indifferent. They are the true masters of Kamchatka! Nowhere else in the country can you see them in such a large number. Kamchatka is the land of rivers and lakes, some of which literally boil during spawning: a large number of fish creates the feeling of boiling water. It is impossible to return from these places with a bad catch! Here you can catch king salmon and silver salmon, rainbow trout and many other rare fish species.
