WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE?
Kama is the largest water flow in the Urals and the younger sister of the Volga, although geologically it is even older.
On the banks of the Kama are many interesting attractions. For example, the Kama coast in front of Perm is very interesting. Here, on the left bank, rocks composed of gypsum rise. Under the action of water, unique natural gypsum sculptures are formed, and between Dobryanka and Polaznaya the Louge Mountains stretch.
“Happiness is just around the corner” - the main Perm brand known throughout the country, from which the X-WATERS Kama swim begins.
Find your "HAPPINESS" on Kame - it is just around the corner!

Kama originates from four underground keys in the village of Kuligi, at an altitude of 331 m. It is in this place - the place of spiritual power, a monument was erected with the words "The Ural River Kama originates here." Often, tourists come here wishing to see first hand the beginning of the great river. And further, downstream, Kama stretched almost 2000 kilometers, replacing its landscapes and nature of the flow.
From ancient times, the Kame had trade routes from the Perm Great and the Vychegodskaya Perm to the countries of the Middle East, which was connected to the lands of the Ob basin. Later, the transport routes crossing the Kama - land and rail - connected the European and Asian parts of Russia. In the 18th and 19th centuries, metal, salt, timber, furs and other riches of the Permian Earth were shipped along them.
Until 1995, there was the largest rafting raid. Currently, Kama can swim to Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don, Astrakhan and Volgograd. Kama love river tourists for the flow and the beauty of the banks, she argues with the mighty Volga.
