   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.

   During the tour you will have a chance to visit the Gobustan local indoor and open-air museum and see the unique exhibits that have reached us through the millennium of history. Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape covers an outstanding collection of more than 6,000 rock engravings bearing testimony to 40,000 years of rock art. The site also features the remains of inhabited caves, settlements and burials, all reflecting an intensive human use by the inhabitants of the area during the wet period that followed the last Ice Age, from the Upper Paleolithic to the Middle Ages. Gobustan has outstanding universal value for the quality and density of its rock art engravings, for the substantial evidence the collection of rock art images presents for hunting, fauna, flora and lifestyles in pre-historic times and for the cultural continuity between prehistoric and mediaeval times that the site reflects.

   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.

7. Stop 7 · 25 min

   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.
