Tour program

Day 1

Climbing the Gorely Volcano
The Dangerous Canyon

The drive to the footstep of the Gorely Volcano takes 3 hours and lies over the Vilyuchinsky Pass from where one can enjoy a charming view of Vilyuchinsky and Mutnovsky volcanoes and the valley of the Paratunka River

Before ascending we drink tea and get instructions. Climb to the top along stoned lava flows which formed a convenient trail. Ascending to the crater takes 3 hours. After a light snack at the top of the volcano we start observing the craters of the Gorely volcano!

At the camp there will be hot dinner waiting for you, after which we will visit the Dangerous Canyon to feel the power of 80 meter high waterfall and take wonderful photos.

After that we move to the bottom of the Mutnovsky Volcano (about one hour drive), set the camp, enjoy hot tea and rest.

Day 2

Climbing the Mutnovsky Volcano
Return to the city

The ascent to the crater is simple: it takes 2–3 hours and fits tourists of any physical training. On the way, we stop to have a rest, look at landscapes, admire volcanoes Gorely, Opala and Asacha, towering in the distance.

Passing through the tectonic fault we get to the crater. We look at fumarole grounds, a gas pillar of 1000 m height, an azure lake, the "Active funnel” crater. The slopes are full of colors: acid yellow sulfur deposits, black and red mudpots, white steam clouds and sky-blue glaciers!

There we enjoy the views, have lunch and return to our car. Travel time back to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky — 4 hours.
