Ultimate Gobustan National Park and Mud Volcanoes Tour

• Learn about the area’s ancient history from your guide and the museum

• Experience the cool mud of Azerbaijan’s signature “mud volcanoes”

• See carvings scratched into the rock by 40,000-year-old humans

This day tour begins at Sahil, a metro station in Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, though you can also opt for a pick-up from your hotel. Head south to Gobustan National Park, officially known as the Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape. The park is actually a hill and mountain site at the southeast end of Azerbaijan’s Greater Caucasus mountain ridge. At the park’s petroglyph museum, see ancient human bones and work tools that were used thousands of years ago during the Mesolithic period. At the mountain site, see rock paintings and carvings in an open-air museum. Also, check out the nearby mud volcanoes. Azerbaijan is well known for active mud volcanoes—approximately 300 at the local shore, sea, and islands.
