What To Expect
Gobustan Rock Art
Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape covers three areas of a plateau of rocky boulders rising out of the semi-desert of central Azerbaijan, with 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. The site, which covers an area of 537 ha, is part of the larger protected Gobustan Reservation.
Mud Volcanoes
Azerbaijan has the most mud volcanoes of any country, spread broadly across the country. 350 of the 800 volcanoes of the world are in the Azerbaijani Republic. Local people call them “yanardagh” (burning mountain), “pilpila” (terrace), “gaynacha” (boiling water) and “bozdag” (grey mountain) alongside its geographical name – mud volcanoes. Note: Since the road to the "Mud Volcanoes" is bumpy you will be transferred to local taxis( price of taxis are included)

5.00Our tour guide was Zach who was very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. His English was excellent and the whole group had a wonderful time. Mud volcanoes were the best part. We got picked up at 8.45am and back in the hotel at 16.30. Top tip: bring an umbrella, toilet paper and wear comfy shoes.
Just Amazing

5.00What a wonderful trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the natural burning mountain and the mud volcanos in particular - although I wanted to go in but realised I would come out still the same colour!! We did extract some mud, which we hope to sell on the black market for a few sheets when we return back home. My wife had an amazing time at the restaurant. The first thing she did was find and use the toilet. Full marks here - she was able to utilise the facilities to work out at the same time as shedding her load - squatting over the hole in the ground to achieve a nice mound. She was also delighted with the food although she would have liked to use the facilities again at the restaurant before leaving. In fact - I would recommend international travellers fly out just to experience these amazing toilets! The whole day was a great experience and Tariq was extremely knowledgeable. I have to say we could not have had a better guide. Hats off to Tariq who looked after us throughout and gave us great information and knowledge. Tariq had a dream to go to the States - I can only wish him the best and hope we bump into you again one day and share some mud from those volcanos!
Excellent day tour of Gobustan and Absheron

5.00I very much enjoyed the day tour of Gobustan and Absheron. The petroglyphs of Gobustan, the mud volcanoes, the Fire Temple and the continuously burning natural gas fire sites were amazing. Tour guide Zac was very knowledgeable and thorough in showing us all the sites. He was especially very good in explaining the emergence of various religions in Azerbaijan and the details related to the fire temple. The tour van and the lunch stop were very good. I highly recommend this tour.

4.00Experiencing some of the natural curiosities of the interesting region. Fire mountains and mud volcanoes in such a small area, and the novel architecture that has been erected to make Baku a fascinating spot.
Friendly and accommodating guide
