Valley of Geysers -
The Valley of Geysers is one of the best discoveries of the 20th century.
Unique and inimitable in its beauty, the Geyser Valley became popular with tourists all over the world.
You will visit a canyon of unique, almost fantastic nature, admire the beauty of active and extinct volcanoes,
mountain ridges, taiga spaces, rivers and lakes.
The Valley of Geysers is almost inaccessible, which helped its nature to remain in nearly natural wild condition.
Such marvelous landscapes and great opportunities for taking photos you won't get anywhere else!
The Comandor Isles -
the part of the Aleutian-Alaska mountain ridge, are especially attractive for tourists
due to a great variety of sea mammals, fur seals, sea lions, sea otters and large
colonies of sea birds on the coastal rocks.
