5.00The tour is organized perfectly, the program is very full, but not exhausting at all. First there was the historical part in Gobustan: an interactive museum and a walk among the rocks with ancient petroglyphs. Next - a trip to the mud volcanoes in colorful local cars, it is a separate fun attraction! The volcanoes themselves look unreal, a cosmic landscape.
