Review
The Charyn Canyon is one of the most unique objects of nature, where over the millennia, under the influence of the weathering of sedimentary rocks, the original form of the relief took the shape of isolated rocks, columns and towers.
The Charyn Canyon is about 12 million years old. The most popular tourist destination is the Valley of Castles. The length of the canyon is about 154 km, and the height reaches from 150 to 300 meters. It is often compared to the Grand Canyon in Colorado, and is even called the "little brother".
The second attraction is a grove of a relict ash tree that survived the era of glaciation. There is another similar grove only in North America.
