Baku: Guba, Shahdag, Laza Waterfall｜Azerbaijan

Embark on a guided journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Azerbaijan’s Greater Caucasus Mountains. Enjoy convenient hotel pickup in Baku and travel to some of the region’s most iconic natural and cultural highlights.

Your adventure begins with a stop at Five Fingers (BeshBarmaq) Mountain, where you’ll learn about the history and legends of the area and see a section of the ancient Silk Road. Take a short break here for photos and light snacks while admiring the mountain’s distinctive shape.

Continue to the famous Candy Cane Mountains, known for their surreal red-and-white striped rock formations. This area, often described as the “pink beauty of nature” and a filming location for an Indian movie, offers around 30 minutes for hiking and capturing unforgettable photos.

Next, travel through the city of Guba to Gachresh Forest, one of Azerbaijan’s most beautiful and dense forests, where thick tree cover blocks much of the sunlight, creating a cool and peaceful atmosphere.

Afterward, visit the unique Red Jewish Village (Qırmızı Qəsəbə), where you’ll have the opportunity to see a synagogue and learn about the centuries-old Jewish community living in the region.
