Itinerary

Gobustan National park- Mud Volcano
- Begin tour to the mud volcanoes, with a visit to the modern interactive museum where you will learn about the ancient man's site, and his way of life. Get acquainted with the flora and fauna of the period of settlement of these places by man.
- Explore the mountain massifs, destroyed by earthquakes, resulting in the formation of caves, where primitive people lived. On the walls of shelters and adjacent rocks you will see carved images of man, animals, hunting scenes and various signs of the Upper Paleolithic period. Currently, the number of identified drawings exceeds 6,000! The historical and artistic reserve of Gobustan is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
- Go to the volcanic field, which explodes with streams of gas, mud and salts. In Azerbaijan, there are about 350 mud volcanoes. Despite the fact that the lava doesn't erupts from them, but streams of dense gray mass that seethes and hisses, these are the most real volcanoes. Here you will feel the power of an amazing element: You never know when a volcano will "wake up".
- Do not be afraid to get dirty, breaking the path from one hill to the next. Both adults and children, being in this place, rejoice at the gurgling mud under their feet, smeared with it and leave their tracks.
