Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean on the far eastern tip of Russia and stretching beyond Siberia, the Kamchatka peninsula is one of the most remote regions in the world.

Up until 1991 and the collapse of the Soviet Union this pristine wilderness was inaccessible to anyone but military personnel. A geological phenomenon of volcanoes, geysers, boiling springs and waterfalls, this pristine wilderness offers up challenge treks and volcano climbs..

Take a journey through this living volcanology museum and witness the glow of active volcanoes and multicoloured volcanic sculptures. Roam, raft and swim freely across this uninhabited land marvelling at the unique flora and fauna and possibly encounter the mighty Kamchatka brown bear. Take to the skies in a helicopter to view the more unique and remote parts of this spectacular landscape including landing on the edge of a volcano’s crater.

Depending on volcanic activity you may wish to pit yourself against this natural environment further by climbing one or all of the four largest volcanoes in the region. Avachinski (2741m), Ushkovsky (3903m), Krestovsky (4057m) and the highest Kluchevskoy (4750m) the highest cone volcano in Eurasia. A steep climb aided by ropes brings you to the top where you can stand above the clouds and look down into the valleys of volcanoes.
