Prehistoric Azerbaijan: Mud and Masterpieces
Travel southwest to Gobustan National Park, a UNESCO site preserving thousands of rock engravings dating back to the Mesolithic period. Nearby, witness the strange geological phenomenon of bubbling Mud Volcanoes—Azerbaijan is home to nearly half of the world's total.

Immerse yourself in the capital's rich culture, starting with a gondola ride through the canals of Little Venice on the boulevard.

Shahdag Escape: Alpine Heights
Leave the coastal capital behind and drive to the breathtaking region of Shahdag. Nestled in the Greater Caucasus, this area is defined by ancient glaciers, deep valleys, and mountain lakes.

Enjoy the crisp mountain air and the serene atmosphere of this alpine resort before settling in for the night.

Travel back to Baku to explore the roots of Azerbaijan's "Land of Fire" moniker. Visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple in Surakhany, a historic castle-like temple used by fire-worshipping Zoroastrians. Continue to the hillside of Yanar Dag, where natural gas vents have kept a fire burning continuously for centuries, rain or snow. Check into your Baku hotel for your final night in the country.
Day - 6
Baku Departure: Mall and Memories
Spend your final morning indulging in a shopping tour at Ganjlik Mall, the city's largest retail hub featuring over 80 stores and entertainment venues.
