Krasnoyarsk Krai is located in the remote geographical center of Russia along the great Siberian river, the Yenisey (the world's fifth largest by length and volume), and its tributaries. West of the Yenisey, Krasnoyarsk Krai begins the unending flat sea of taiga and tundra that ends with the Ural Mountains, while the majority of the Krai (to the east of the Yenisey) is covered by the beautiful mountainous wild of the Sayan Mountain Range and the Putoran Plateau. For the truly adventurous, wilderness travel in this region is limited only by safety concerns and imagination, as the Soviet government deliberately kept most of Krasnoyarsk Krai closed and devoid of human presence.
The southern Krasnoyarsk region is the heart of this vast area and its most visited region as it contains the city of Krasnoyarsk, the third largest in Siberia and is a major stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
