The first
people of Kamchatka,
the Itel'men, Koryak, and Even are the heart
and soul of Kamchatka's cultural heritage.
Our cultural trips offer a chance to visit
several Native villages as well as with people
who have left the village life to return to
ancestral homes along remote rivers in western
Kamchatka. The expressive dance of the Koryak
and Even people driven to the beat of the wonderful
Kamchatka drums are sights and sounds one never
forgets. We invite you to participate in local
festivals of the Even New Year, harvests, and
the abundance of summer's fishing season with
the first inhabitants of Kamchatka.
