Day 2. Ruka: Safari with huskies and meeting with Santa Claus
Breakfast. In the morning we will go to visit a husky dog farm for an unforgettable journey through the snowy forest in a sled pulled by these charming animals and thus become true mushers. The transfer will be carried out by bus to the farm, where these docile friends will be waiting for us, eager to carry out their tour. Once the instructions on how to drive the sled have been given, we will get going: each adult participant will drive their own sled (2 people for each sled, who will alternate the driver's position). Quite an arctic adventure! We will discover many curiosities of our new friends with the explanations of our guide. After the excursion we will have lunch and in the afternoon we will go to the secret house of Santa Claus. Santa's house in Lapland is in front of a lake with incredible winter views. It has an area with natural slides on the snow where children and not so children will enjoy while Santa Claus awaits us in his cozy house with Mrs. Claus to meet him in person and have an unforgettable time. Upon entering the house, an elf will greet us and lead us to the living room where we will meet Santa Claus himself. We will have a good time with him while he tells us stories and teaches us a song. Mrs. Claus will teach us her famous cookie recipe to bake them later. With the indelible memory and all the magic of this visit, we said goodbye to Santa Claus and started our return trip to the establishment. Dinner and accommodation.
