Your guide: Маша
Hello. For many years I have been professionally conducting fascinating natural history excursions for small groups (1-3 people) in the Lazarevsky district of Sochi. There is a testimony of a guide. My excursions are safe, balanced in duration and information saturation, the most acceptable in cost. On each excursion I help sightseers to look at the nature of the Western Caucasus from the inside, through the eyes of people who have lived here since the time of cavemen to this day. It is most interesting for me to outline how the life of indigenous peoples is connected with the surrounding nature, how the mental qualities of the Circassians, their traditions, etiquette were formed. All this is closely intertwined with modern psychology, with the concepts of masculinity, honor, empathy, humanity – in a word, with topics that are more or less interesting to every person who wants to understand his inner world in order to find harmony in life.
