Chernobyl Exclusion Zone Tour from Kyiv | Pripyat Ghost Town

“Turning away from the Red Forest, radiating anxiety and fear,
In the center of the zone over the wound of the ChNPP, frozen grey as an elephant, the Sarcophagus!”
— Poetry

According to Forbes magazine, Chernobyl is the most exotic place on planet Earth. Just 140 km from Kyiv lies a city that 50,000 people left forever in a single day. This is an immersion into a different reality, where nature takes over concrete and reminds us of the fragility of our world.

The Ecological Tour to Chernobyl is for you if you want to know:

• why did the fourth reactor explode?
• who is to blame for this tragedy and what are its true consequences?
• what anomalies appeared in the Zone after the explosion?
• is the Exclusion Zone safe for tourists today?
