"Two active volcanoes for two days''

Climbing active volcanoes with a night in tents

2 days/1 night

The goal: To conquer two volcanoes in two days. After such a trip, you will surely be able to be proud of yourself!

Mutnovsky volcano is one of the most active on the entire peninsula. And you can easily see this for yourself, approaching the crater. With your feet you can feel how vital activity is bubbling: you can hear the hum of the earth, mud boilers are boiling, steam and gas are escaping from large and small fumaroles.

A tea party is waiting for us in the crater of the volcano. Agree, it's quite strange and amazing to drink a cup of hot tea inside a huge boiling cauldron. Just look, a giant's face will appear above your head with a spoon and sugar cubes.

Gorely Volcano was once the twin brother of Mount Kilimanjaro. But, as often happens, the similarities and comparisons fairly tired him. So he exploded with indignation and resentment. He threw out such a fiery stream that he burned everything around within a radius of 25 km. Now you can definitely not confuse him with anyone. A remarkable blue lake was formed in one of the craters. It can be safely called the Eye of the Volcano.
