  • What will you find?
    Под руководством опытного наставника вы гарантировано найдете окаменелости мелового периода: белемнитов, иглы морских ежей, брахиоподы, могут попасться наутилусы, аммониты, позвонки акул.
  • you'll learn a lot of new things
    about how the local mountains were formed, why the ammonites went extinct, and how many years it takes for "the sea to turn to stone."

Program
Departure
We'll leave Batumi at 9 a.m., and we'll enjoy some very scenic views along the way. We'll stop along the way to stretch our legs. The drive will take about 3 hours.
Searching for Fossils
We arrive at the fossil-hunting site (near the car) and listen to a detailed lecture on paleontology and the formation of Georgia’s landscape. Then we set out to search for fossils, taking a break for a picnic along the way. We discuss our first finds! About 3–4 hours.

Your guide will tell you everything and show you how to search properly and what to look for. They’ll also be sure to explain what you’ve found and how it ended up in the rock.
walk
Совсем рядом есть две реки, в которых можно охладиться, но все зависит от погоды и дождей.
Сходим на прогулку к дикой части каньона.

После этого возвращаемся в Батуми. В городе мы будем примерно в 10-11 часов вечера.
Our itinerary has been carefully planned down to the last detail, but nature has its own way of things. Some parts of the route may be rearranged depending on the weather and other factors—so that each destination is revealed to us in the best possible light.

This flexibility allows us to make the trip even more comfortable and enriching!

  • Alex
    инструктор водного туризма, гид
    He has 20 years of hiking experience under his belt (not counting the backpack itself), including Category 5 water routes.
    He believes that travel isn’t about the kilometers, but about the experiences, which is why he even chooses places to stop for a bite to eat where the view is just as enjoyable as the food.
  • Fyodor
    гид
    He went on his first hike at age 11—with a cotton-padded sleeping bag and his grandmother’s sweater.
    He has experience with winter, water, and mountain hikes of varying difficulty levels. He loves wild trails, swamps, rhododendron thickets, spending the night in a snow den, trail races, boxing, and swimming in icy water.
    On hikes, he values good spirits, the beauty of the wilderness, humor, pushing his limits, and hot tea after a long day of hiking.
