Sulak Canyon, Natural canyon in Kazbekovsky District, Russia.
The Sulak Canyon extends for 53 kilometers through Dagestan, reaching depths of 1,920 meters with vertical limestone cliffs and exposed rock formations.
The canyon formation began millions of years ago when the Sulak River started carving through layers of sedimentary rock from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods.
The canyon serves as a protected nesting ground for griffon vultures and black vultures, which hold special status in Russian environmental conservation efforts.
Visitors can join daily guided tours departing from Makhachkala, with options for hiking, photography, and wildlife observation throughout the year.
The canyon surpasses the Grand Canyon by 63 meters in depth, making it the deepest canyon formation across the European continent.
