El texto del itinerario está disponible en inglés.

Ruta y experiencias

The lake is a sensitive protected ecosystem; choose licensed transport and local guides and avoid assuming winter ice routes are safe. Travel advisory: the UK Foreign Office and US State Department currently advise against all travel to Russia nationwide, including cities away from Ukraine. These are destination-planning ideas only. Travelaux must review client nationality, visas, payment options, insurance, transport, local security and operating permissions before confirming any arrangements.
