Boat tours

Estuba Waterfall

Estyuba Waterfall, whose rushing waters cascade through a narrow rocky gorge, overcoming rubble from trees and stones. Wooden planks are laid along the waterfall, along which you can climb up the riverbed for almost a hundred meters. Even such a small acquaintance with the Altai nature and the way of life of local residents will be enough to arouse interest in further exploring the Altai Mountains.
