  • Expedition cruises in the Far East

The most eastern part of our country, the Far East is not without reason called distant - from the capital it is separated more than eight thousand kilometers, and local time is ahead of Moscow for seven hours! To fly here sometimes even longer than to other continents, the same journey on the train will stretch for a long, but extremely full of impressions a week .Here the influence of friendly cultures is felt acutely (we are primarily about China and Japan), and to America - hand in hand: just sweep across the narrow northern part of the Pacific..And in the Far East earthquakes happen regularly, they drown in the pre-dawn haze of the "hills of Manchuria", thunder the military glory of the Pacific fleet and prepare the artless, but surprisingly appetizing dishes from fish and seafood..And, according to reviews, here live the most benevolent and sympathetic people!

The Russian Far East includes 9 provinces and regions: the Amur and Jewish autonomous regions with capitals in Blagoveshchensk and Birobidzhan, respectively, the Kamchatka Territory and the eastern outpost of the country - the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Magadan Region, Primorsky Krai with the main city - the glorious Vladivostok, Yakutia, Sakhalin Region with its capital in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Khabarovsk Territory and Chukotka with its center in Anadyr.

It can not be said that the Far East is the megadirection of domestic tourism .The conditions are still not the most suitable: a long flight from the European part of Russia, a rather harsh climate and not too much focus on idle guests .However, their fans in the Far East still have .Not afraid of difficulties to the patriot, the Far East can offer insane beauty to natural beauties: what are the Avachinsky Bay, the majestic silhouettes of hills and clouds above the tops of volcanoes, beaches with black volcanic sand, islands lost in the ocean, admired by flight birds, and stony rocky coasts, Mountain lakes and "sugar" caves .

Beautiful Kamchatka

In winter it is possible to go skiing (good, gentle and long slopes of "home" mountains have this), and in the summer to walk along the beach, mountains and dales, fishing (fishing in the fertile river and sea depths of the Far East is deservedly considered one of the best in Russia ), go on a hunt or camping trip, make an ascent, merge along the river, finally - just abandon the bustle and breathe in the healing air of the "edge of the world."

Even more glorious than the Far East is the healing mineral springs. For example, in the territory of the Kamchatka Territory alone there are almost three hundred of them! The infrastructure surrounding the life-giving keys is albeit somewhat inferior to that of Europe, but the doctors work the best, and the extraordinary hospitality of the local residents will give the most carefree mood, which, as you know, is the key to recovery.

As for cultural tourism, the historical sights come here from two extremes: either very ancient artifacts from the sites of primitive people, or more or less modern buildings and museum collections. However, the shortcomings of the historical "excursion" are more than filled with natural diversity - from glaciers to volcanoes, from ice lakes to boiling geysers. The edge of contrasts, in a word!
