Baku: Gobustan, Mud Volcanoes, and Yanardag Tour｜Azerbaijan

Begin your journey at the world's first mechanically drilled oil well, completed in 1846. See the jungle of oil rigs up close, a scene featured in the James Bond movie "The World Is Not Enough."

Next, visit the mud volcanoes, a unique geological feature of Azerbaijan. Walk along a path leading to these active craters, experiencing the mysterious and romantic landscape.

Continue to Gobustan National Reserve, home to one of the world’s most significant historical and cultural treasures. Discover the largest untouched "parking lot" of primitive humans, where the first Cro-Magnons settled. See ancient petroglyphs and learn about the evolution of humankind from your guide.

Return to Baku for a delicious three-course meal of traditional Azerbaijani dishes in a picturesque restaurant. After lunch, visit the Temple of Fire, an ancient Zoroastrian site where flames rise naturally from the ground.

End your tour at Yanardag, the Burning Mountain, where a bright, unquenchable fire burns near the top of the Great Caucasus.
