Four national parks are located in this region, forming a vast nature refuge: Białowieźa National Park, Biebrza National Park, Wigierski National Park, and Narwiański National Park. The region showcases cultural diversity with Orthodox churches, synagogues, and wooden churches, and a confluence of Polish, Belarussian, and Lithuanian influences, as well as Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.

It also features a guided tour of Białowieża Forest, one of the last places on earth to see the ecosystem of a primeval, lowland forest, home to bison and numerous other species. A guided tour in Tykocin, a historic town, and a guided tour of the mosque in Kruszyniany, a symbol of multiculturalism and religious tolerance, are also included. The tour involves cycling through the Białowieża Forest, along the Green Velo route through the Knyszyn Forest, and into Biebrza National Park, known for its extensive wetlands and birdlife.
