Depends on the weather. Azerbaijan is known in the first place for mud volcanoes in the world. These volcanoes spread through Azerbaijan and local people call them “Yanardagh” (burning mountain), “gaynacha” (boiling water) and “bozdag” (grey mountain) alongside its geographical name - mud volcanoes. 350 out of the 800 mud volcanoes known in the World are located in Azerbaijan. Most of them are situated in the Gobustan region. Some of the volcanoes are considered natural monuments and natural national resources of Azerbaijan. We are going there with special taxi because of road conditions. During this trip, you will get a great chance to see these amazing active volcanoes from a very close distance. We will provide the extra another car to Soviet SUV Lada to go to volcanoes.

Au cours de la visite, vous aurez l'occasion de visiter le musée local de Gobustan, en intérieur et en plein air, et d'admirer les expositions uniques qui nous ont été transmises à travers des millénaires d'histoire. Le paysage culturel d'art rupestre de Gobustan abrite une collection exceptionnelle de plus de 6 000 gravures rupestres, témoignage de 40 000 ans d'art rupestre. Le site présente également des vestiges de grottes habitées, d'habitats et de sépultures, témoignant d'une occupation humaine intensive par les habitants de la région pendant la période humide qui a suivi la dernière période glaciaire, du Paléolithique supérieur au Moyen Âge. Gobustan possède une valeur universelle exceptionnelle pour la qualité et la densité de ses gravures rupestres, pour les témoignages substantiels que cette collection d'images rupestres apporte sur la chasse, la faune, la flore et les modes de vie préhistoriques, et pour la continuité culturelle entre la préhistoire et le Moyen Âge que le site reflète.

You will have lunch at the traditional restaurant. Lunch is extra !

Azerbaijan’s iconic "Burning mountain"-Yanardag is located north of Baku city, around 23km from the Old Town. The main attraction of Yanardag is a spectacular hill with a constantly burning wall of flames. Thanks to tectonic shifts and volcanic material below the earth’s surface, natural gas leaks from the rocks. The Italian trader and traveler Marco Polo even mentioned the flames during his travels to Baku and its surroundings, but most probably the fire has been burning for over more years at Yanardag. The fire line surrounding the foot of the summit will give you an impression of the Land of Lights and leave an unforgettable memory of the tour. To protect Yanardagh and attract tourists here, this area was declared a historical, cultural and natural reserve in 2007.

The next chapter of your journey brings you to the Ateshgah Fire Temple. Once a sacred site for Zoroastrians and fire-worshippers, this temple glows with stories of pilgrims and merchants who came here centuries ago, drawn by the eternal flames and mystical energy.
