Meeting with the group. 7:00* in Petropavlovsk-Kam.; 8:00* in the village of Paratunka; (the exact time and place of departure will be announced by the tour leader of the group on the eve of departure). Departure to Mutnovsky volcano (about 100 km) by a KAMAZ off-road vehicle. Travel along the dirt road through the Vilyuchinsky pass. Stop at the Vilyuchinsky pass, which offers a magnificent panorama of the neighboring volcanoes – Vilyuchinsky and Gorely. 11:30* Arrival at the starting point of the walking route. The briefing. Climbing the slope of Mutnovsky volcano to the edge of the crater (the height of the volcano is 2323 m, rising to about 2000 m, about 2 hours). The trail passes through a snowfield that does not melt even in summer. Mutnovsky volcano is a natural monument located partly on the territory of the South Kamchatka Natural Park, which was included in the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List in 1996 in the nomination "Volcanoes of Kamchatka". The volcano consists of 4 merged, successively formed cones of stratovolcanoes. The heart of the volcano is the so-called Active Funnel, the largest crater of all active volcanoes in Kamchatka, as well as a fumarole field, where active fumarole activity is manifested. After the collapse of rocks in 2021, which blocked part of the fault where the climbing path used to pass, a lake was formed. The movement continues to this day, changing the landscape. The new route runs along a slope, and we will be watching the activity from a height. From the edge of the volcano, we will see a panorama of the Severo-Mutnovsky glacier, a landslide and a new lake, an active fumarole field with bubbling mud cauldrons and floating fumaroles. In clear weather, there is a view of the neighboring volcanoes of the South Kamchatka group: Vilyuchinsky, Gorely, Khodutka, Opala. We will spend about an hour here and start the descent back. Return to the base, explore the powerful 80-meter waterfall in the ravine of the Dangerous Canyon. Lunch – lunch box, hot tea. In the evening, return to the village of Paratunka / Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Meeting with the group: 7:00* in Petropavlovsk-Kam.; 8:00* in the village of Paratunka; (the exact time and place of departure will be announced by the tour leader of the group on the eve of departure). Departure to Gorely volcano by a KAMAZ off-road vehicle. The briefing. Ascent to Gorely volcano (1829 m, ascent takes 3-5 hours). Gorely volcano is located 75 km southwest of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and is unlikely to attract anyone's attention, but it is not for nothing that this "humble gentleman" is a natural monument. After all, it has a whole "collection" of craters, each of which has its own characteristics, and they all create a unique ensemble. In ancient times, it was a volcano of enormous size – 20-25 km, after the strongest eruption, it completely collapsed, forming a caldera about 12 km, from which modern Gorely grew. Snack – lunch box, hot tea. Visit and explore caves in the area of Gorely volcano. On the way back, lunch at a glamping on the Vilyuchinsky pass with stunning views of the volcanoes of the South Kamchatka group. Return to the village of Paratunka / Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In case the route to Mutnovsky volcano is closed by the administration of the natural park, due to the increased activity of the volcano, an alternative route will be conducted: Dangerous Canyon, geothermal valley of Summer springs, Calm Waterfall.
