Today, we visit Boro-Boro, which is the first Arctic station on Lake Baikal! A fantastic destination for anyone visiting Lake Baikal, offering a unique experience that combines adventure, history, and local culture. As the first Arctic station on Lake Baikal, it creates an immersive atmosphere reminiscent of the early explorers of Siberia, providing visitors with a chance to step back in time. The focus on 19th and 20th-century exploration, with opportunities to wear sheepskin coats, examine old maps, and learn about the pioneers, adds an educational and experiential layer to the trip.
In addition to its historical charm, Boro-Boro offers plenty of fun and engaging activities. The ice features, such as tulips growing in the ice and the ice tunnel, are particularly fascinating and offer great photo opportunities. The station also has a variety of winter activities like sledding, ice bowling, ice skating, and hockey, making it a perfect place for outdoor fun, even in the colder months.
For those seeking an authentic taste of Siberia, the local cuisine here sounds delicious, offering a true taste of the region. The opportunity to send a postcard from the "heart of Baikal" adds a personal touch to the experience.
We take a hovercraft and start our return to Irkutsk. Dinner upon arrival. Overnight in Irkutsk.
