The Kamchatka Peninsula, with Esso as one of its quaint villages, offers a remote and breathtaking destination teeming with natural wonders. Known for its geothermal hot springs, vibrant indigenous culture, and access to pristine wilderness, Esso serves as a gateway to exploring Kamchatka's stunning landscapes. Given its remoteness, the best way to reach Esso is by flying into Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and then taking a car or bus. Due to limited infrastructure, joining a guided tour is recommended for a comprehensive and safe experience, particularly for excursions like bear watching and hiking to volcanic craters. Travel is most feasible from late spring to early autumn (May to September) to avoid harsh winter conditions. Costs can vary widely depending on tour packages, with budget travelers spending several hundred dollars for a few days, while more extensive tours can reach higher prices. A visit to Esso usually requires at least two to three days to fully appreciate the area's offerings.
