Excursion to Chernobyl
Tour to Chernobyl, 950 hryvnia, frequency: every Saturday.
Two decades after the world's worst nuclear accident, you can take a day trip to the very center of the disaster, which is located less than a hundred kilometers north of Kyiv.
An excursion to Chernobyl is not only a form of tourist extremism, but also a journey into the bosom of wild nature. Despite more than 90 tons of radioactive waste buried under a concrete sarcophagus and radioactive terrain for miles around, wild life in these abandoned places is thriving. The abandoned region, turning into a nature reserve, was filled with wolves, foxes, and wild boars. Here you can find many representatives of flora and fauna, including rare ones.
