Russia's Hidden Gem: Discover the Untamed Beauty of the Putorana Plateau

Hidden Gem of Russia: Putorana Plateau. The vast and remote Putorana Plateau in Siberia, a region of dramatic waterfalls, pristine lakes, and breathtaking landscapes, remains largely undiscovered by many Russians, despite its stunning beauty. This contrasts sharply with the popularity of Sochi as a tourist destination. The plateau's unique geological formations, shaped by volcanic eruptions and tectonic shifts tens of thousands of years ago, create a landscape reminiscent of the Norwegian fjords. One traveler, Mark Eremin, recently visited the plateau and described his experience: "The views are simply incredible, unlike anything I've ever seen." Eremin stayed in comfortable cabins with modern amenities, enjoying hikes to waterfalls and evenings in a lakeside sauna. The Putorana Plateau offers a unique and unforgettable travel experience, accessible by relatively affordable flights to Norilsk, followed by a boat trip across the lake. Despite its remoteness, the stunning beauty and unique geological history of the plateau make it a destination worth considering for those seeking an adventurous and unforgettable vacation.
