Description

If you only have a short time in Baku - this tour is for you! Your local guide will pick you up from your accommodation or pre-arranged location and take you straight to Gobustan Reserve, where you'll be able to visit the museum and learn about prehistoric times.

You'll then have a chance to explore Gobustan Reserve which is home to more than 6,000 rock engravings dating back 40,000 years. You'll also be able to see settlements of ancient people and evidence of the culture of the Stone Age.

The next stop will be the mud volcanoes - a rare natural phenomenon that is bound to amaze you! We will need to take separate transport to this location (not included).

Azerbaijan has the most mud volcanoes of any country in the world and locals use the clay to treat a range of diseases from skin rashes to rheumatism. Once you've seen the wonders of this natural landscape you'll be taken back to Baku.

Passionate guide with great experience

for Nijat’s tour (Short trip to UNESCO World Heritage Listed Gobustan and Mud Volcanoes)

This trip is well balanced. You have a museum, a hike and a nature sight (including driving an old Soviet car). Nijat is opened for sharing local experience and does not give too much of “waste touristic” information:)
