Nature and Archaeology

Sochi National Park encompasses a diverse landscape of the Western Caucasus, ranging from subtropical coasts to alpine peaks. This collection features the Vorontsovskaya and Akhshtyrskaya cave systems, which preserve evidence of Paleolithic settlements and extinct fauna. The region's hydrological significance is showcased through the 33 Waterfalls of the Shakhe River and the mineral springs of Chvizhepse. Visitors can explore medieval ruins from the 9th century and the legendary Eagle Rock, traditionally linked to the myth of Prometheus.
