Rank : 9.0 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : 53.194872, 107.338889 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The largest lake on the planet. Photographic views are countless interesting though somewhat savage. Of interest is the "Shaman Rock" full of stories and legends. In addition to fish (76) endemic species can be found the Baykal seals, seagulls, eagles and often bears.

Recommended equipment : A wide-angle for landscapes and a 100-400 type canvas to "approach" the most difficult subjects.

Best months : Late summer is the one that offers the best colors, but if well equipped even the winter is not bad.

How to get there : By plane to Irkutsk and then bus (about six hours). Being an island of course you have to take a ferry but it is included in the ticket-route and you do not have to look for it.

Visits : On the island there is no asphalt, not even the Bancomat, the hotels are a bit spartan, but given the place, enough. Meals are good (especially fish) and not expensive.

Notes : The island is 70 km long and offers biking or walking excursions, as well as a boat and rarely attending church religious ceremonies.
