Bystrinsky Nature Park is part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site “Volcanoes of Kamchatka.” Bystrinsky Nature Park is an enticing wilderness area covering 1,325,000 hectares, located in the middle of the Kamchatka Peninsula in an area sometimes referred to as “Kamchatka’s Switzerland.” The park is part of the Sredny Mountain range representing almost all features of the central Kamchatka ecosystem. The park’s breathtaking landscapes include intact taiga forests and diverse wildlife. The primary goal of the park is to preserve the traditional lifestyles of the Even people, who live in the villages of Anavgai and Esso, within the park’s boundaries. As both the largest and one of the least developed of Kamchatka’s nature parks, Bystrinsky Park offers huge and underdeveloped recreational opportunities.
