Adventure is waiting for you in this central Asian country
Kazakhstan, the world's largest land-locked country, may seem like an out-of-the-way destination for tourists. It is. But those who travel to this Central Asian nation are rewarded with great natural beauty. Kazakhstan's snowy peaks, wide deserts, grassy plains and beautiful lakes beg to be explored.
Start your adventure in Kazakhstan's largest city, Almaty, a city with wide, tree-lined streets and numerous parks. Panfilov Park is home to Holy Ascension Cathedral. Although it doesn't look like it, the entire cathedral is made of wood!
Built between 1904 and 1907, it is one of the largest wooden churches in the world. At the east end of the park stands the Museum of Kazakh Musical Instruments. There, you can see and hear a nice collection of traditional Kazakh instruments.
Near the park you'll find the Green Bazaar. Visit it for a real taste of Kazakhstan. Try kazy, a special kind of horse-meat sausage. Horse meat is considered a delicacy in Kazakhstan.
