Khakassia is something to surprise a sophisticated tourist and even a local resident. Let's postpone the conquest of endless steppes, crystal lakes and unusual rocks to the warmer months of the year. In the meantime, we will study the amazing history of these regions, which mixed incredible technical achievements, rich Slavic heritage and traditions of shamanism.
