Kamchatka is one of the most beautiful and interesting regions of Russia, but many travelers doubt whether this trip will meet their expectations. We share with you the most common stereotypes about Kamchatka.
- A trip to Kamchatka is only for the rich
Of course, this is by no means a cheap vacation destination, but its price is quite comparable to travel to Europe. If we talk about active foreign analogous tours, then it is worth comparing prices for Kamchatka travel with tours to Iceland, Costa Rica, Venezuela, South Africa, etc. However, you may be in luck with air tickets on special offers. They can be purchased for 20 thousand, if you take care of the purchase in advance.
- The Valley of Geysers was destroyed by a landslide
This is a very common stereotype, despite the fact that the Valley of Geysers is still one of the most visited places in Kamchatka. In addition, do not forget that Kamchatka is not only the Valley of Geysers, but also a large number of various, completely unique volcanoes, boat trips and thermal springs.
- Active rest in Kamchatka is suitable only for experienced tourists
In reality, even ascents to volcanoes are made by everyone: adults, children and elderly people. In addition, you always have the opportunity to choose programs that exclude overnight stays in field conditions and long transitions. They are suitable for those who are not ready to give up the benefits of civilization.
- It is dangerous to rest in Kamchatka
To begin with, it should be noted that today the Kamchatka Territory has the lowest crime rate, at least among all regions. Of the Far East... Everything tourist programs include medical insurance in the price (even with helicopter evacuation from hard-to-reach places), equipment is constantly updated to carry out active tours, guides and instructors are re-certified annually. Therefore, do not be afraid: a trip to Kamchatka is no more dangerous journey than a fishing trip in the Moscow region.
- Unpredictable weather can ruin the whole trip
Of course, there is a certain "weather" factor, but do not despair. When developing tours, the sequence of conducting certain excursions or activities may vary in accordance with weather conditions.
