What To Expect
Gobustan Rock Art
Gobustan Reserve. The largest collection of rock paintings-petroglyphs made over thousands of years, bride kidnapping, hunting, fishing, rituals and dances in which almost the entire tribe participates - all this is captured. At the foot of Mount Boyuk-Dash, Livus Maximus, a centurion of the XII Lightning Legion (in the 1st century AD), left an "autograph", which turned out to be the easternmost of the inscriptions made by the Romans. There are short sayings in Arabic: "Came, prayed, left" and even images of men in turbans.
Mud Volcanoes
Mud volcanoes. Already along the way, you will be able to notice small volcanic cones, which are the hallmark of the region. Sometimes you can see smoke or the bubbling of clay even from afar.
