Porquê esta viagem
Em torno do que esta viagem foi construída, e porque vale os dias.
Spend six days exploring Almaty and the landscapes that make southern Kazakhstan so distinctive. This journey begins in the city itself, where tree-lined boulevards, mountain backdrops, and lively local markets set the pace for the trip. A first evening ride on the Kok Tobe cable car gives you a wide view over Almaty and an easy introduction to the city’s hilltop atmosphere.
The itinerary then moves through Almaty’s cultural landmarks, including Zenkov Cathedral, Panfilov Park, Republic Square, the Green Bazaar, and the Rakhat Chocolate Factory. From there, the route climbs into the mountains to Medeu and Shymbulak, where a gondola ride opens up clear views of the Tien Shan range and gives the trip a stronger alpine feel without demanding a strenuous pace.
The later days take you beyond the city into some of Kazakhstan’s best-known natural settings. Charyn Canyon brings dramatic rock formations and wide desert colours, while Kolsai Lake adds a calmer contrast with pine-covered slopes and mirror-like water. Altyn Emel National Park introduces the Singing Dunes and the varied terrain of Aktau and Katutau, creating one of the most memorable long-driving days in the itinerary.
Back in the Almaty region, Big Almaty Lake provides a quieter mountain finale with clear turquoise water and high-altitude scenery. A traditional eagle and falcon show adds a strong cultural layer, linking the journey to Kazakhstan’s nomadic heritage before time is left for shopping and a relaxed final evening in the city. With city touring, scenic drives, mountain viewpoints, and well-spread day trips, this package suits travellers who want a full Almaty experience in one trip.
