What To Expect
Gobustan Rock Art
The tour will start off from Gobustan Rock Art Museum and National Park. Those petroglyphs (stone carvings) are as important as Chauvet Caves, and were left untouched for milleniums until discovered in the 1930s. You will have a chance to witness prehistoric engravings, including images of old inhabitants that seem to be dancing a primordial dance!
Mud Volcanoes
Later on, the tour will proceed to the mud volcanoes area which is 20 mins away from Gobustan National Museum. Azerbaijan keeps the first place in the world for the number of mud volcanoes. About 300 mud volcanoes are to be found in Azerbaijan – at the shore, in the sea and on islands. During this trip you will get a great chance to see these rare and active volcanoes from very close distance. Some people swear by the mud's medical benefits, so it might be worth to try it on your skin!

5.00What a great day. Mirhashim was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable in the history of Azerbaijan, which was just what we wanted. The highlight was the Temple of Fire. It was crazy to see how many evolutions it has gone through.
Exciting Baku

4.00I thought the visits to Gobustan, mud volcanoes and ateshgah were very interesting. It was also an interesting experience to see the environment of Baku. Vusal was a good guide who told his a lot about Azerbaijan's history, life in the country and even its modern music ;-). I though the fire mountain was the least interesting visit, perhaps not entirely worth the extra time.
