Tour Details

Let us take you to the North-West of Russia where you can enjoy the beautiful nature of Karelia, a wide variety of its flora and fauna, rough rivers, virgin forests, fresh air filled with the scent of pine trees and the stunning beauty of the sunsets! Karelia is often called the country of lakes, there are more than 60 thousand lakes and 27 thousand rivers.

During your stay you will get to know the ancient history of the region, you will visit the most remarkable monument of ancient wooden architecture – the Kizhi ensemble that has served as the foundation for an open-air museum well-known throughout the world. You will visit the Nature Reserve of Kivach that is famous for its waterfall – the second largest plain waterfall in Europe. You will taste the delicious cuisine of Karelia and even take a cooking master class!

Do you love huskies as much as they are loved in Karelia? For thousand years these beautiful and intelligent animals had been used for transportation across the Arctic tundra. Selective breeding had created the ideal sledding dog, perfectly suited to the freezing conditions and a life of hard work. You will visit a farm of huskies and you will enjoy a husky track along the picturesque Shuya river bank in the fabulous pine forest!
