The Chuvash Republic has a rather favourable geographical position for the development of tourism. It is situated in the centre of the European part of Russia. It borders on two regions and three republics: to the West it borders on the Nizhny Novgorod region, to the North- on the Republic of Mari-El, to the East- on Tatarstan and to the South - on Mordovia and the Ulyanovsk region.

Chuvashia has an area of 18,700 square kilometers. It stretches for 190km from north to south and for about 160km from west to east.

1,359,000 people live on this comparatively small territory. 60% of the population live in towns and 40% live in the country. The density of populationis one of the highest in Russia. It is about 74.3 persons per square kilometer.

Chuvashia is a multinational republic. Representatives of sixty-two nationalities live here, including Chuvashes, Russians, Tatars, Mordovians, etc. The official languages are Chuvash and Russian.

The capital of the republic is Cheboksary. There are nine towns in Chuvashia. The second largest is Novocheboksarsk, the rest are Alatyr, Shumerlya, Kanash, Kozlovka, Yadrin, Tsivilsk, and Mariinsky Posad.

The landscape of the Chuvash land is specific. There are no mountains on its territory, but the surface is slightly hilly with a plenty of small lakes (400) and rivers (nearly 2,500). The largest lakes are Astrakhanka, Lebyazhye and Chyornoye. Among 2,500 rivers there are rather big ones (the Tsivil, Anish, Kubnya, and Kirya). The greatest advantage of the republic is the Volga River. In the northern part of the republic there is a plateau, which is crossed with many ravines. The central part of Chuvashia the Sviyazhskaya Plain has not deep valleys.

Chuvashia is not rich in mineral resources but it is rich in natural resources such as forests and mineral springs. One third of its territory is covered with forests. They are mainly situated along the Sura River and in Zavolzhye. In the south-east of the Republic there are almost no forests at all. You can see groves everywhere in Chuvashia. In the forests there are many oaks and pines. Many forests are mixed. Typical representatives of the local fauna are elks, bears, wolves, foxes, wild boars, hares, martens, otters, squirrels and hedgehogs.

There are many mineral springs in Chuvashia. That is why the balneological institution for mud cures and health centre “Chuvashia” was opened on one of them. Both traditional and non-traditional methods of treatment are used in the health centre. Besides, clean air with smells of pine tar helps improve people’s health.

Ecological zones in Chuvashia occupy approximately one third of its territory and deserve much interest as the places for recreation and ecological tourism. They are: the Prisursky State National Park, the Chavash Varmane National Park, the Zavolzhye National Park, the Cheboksary branch of the Botanical Gardens of Russia.

The climate is moderate continental. The average temperature in January is -15, in July is +19. The lowest temperature, marked there in winter, is -46 and the highest temperature in summer is +38. The precipitation is 450-500mm a year, 70% of which falls in the warm season.
