The Summary

One of the most remarkable nature wonders, left by world ocean is the canyon of Charyn river in 200 km from Almaty. Canyon is considered to be a miniature of Great Canyon in Colorado. It is unusual and very diverse in its forms that remind the towers of fairy-tale castle. That’s why canyon has another name- the Valley of Castles. On the slopes there could be found the remains of fossil fauna, dated 300 mln years.
