Five unique wonders of Azerbaijan

The first miracle of Azerbaijan is the pink (dead lake) of Absheron.

Masazirgel is the most unusual lake in Azerbaijan and perhaps the most amazing in Transcaucasia. Its main feature is the pink color of the water. The lake is located on the Absheron Peninsula and at the edges the Pink Lake is surrounded by salt.

The lake is unique in its kind. Every year travelers from different countries come to it to make sure that the water is really unnatural pink (especially in summer, under the influence of sunlight), even if you pour it into a separate vessel, and admire this creation of nature.

The lake effectively borders a white belt of salt, and from a bird's eye view it looks like it was painted by Monet, Van Gogh, a little muffled the colors. It is not surprising that tourists often take pictures of the Pink Lake, being on a hill, in order to preserve vivid impressions for a lifetime and once again see the ingenuity of nature.

Two more wonders of Absheron are the temple of Ateshgah and the burning mountain of Yanardag.

Do you know why Azerbaijan is called the “Land of Fire”? You will visit the ancient Zoroastrian temple of Ateshgah, climb the famous “burning mountain” and see with your own eyes what a living bright flame has for Azerbaijanis.

You will be able to fully imbue yourself with the spirit of the “land of fire”, make amazingly beautiful photos of live flames and understand why the cult of fire worshipers – Zoroastrians – is still alive here.

The last two geological and cultural treasures of Azerbaijan are Gobustan and mud volcanoes.

Historical and Artistic Reserve Gobustan

After that, we will take you to the mountain ranges destroyed by earthquakes, as a result of which caves were formed where primitive people lived. On the walls of shelters and adjacent rocks you will see carved images of man, animals, hunting scenes and various signs of the Upper Paleolithic period.

Currently, the number of identified drawings exceeds 6 thousand! The historical and artistic reserve Gobustan is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. And the famous Norwegian traveler Thor Heyerdahl repeatedly visited this place and wrote a book about his sensational discoveries. On the tour you will learn about them, including the meaning of the discovered rock with a Latin inscription dating from the first century.

The World of Volcanoes and the Fatima Mosque.

We will show you the most interesting geological formations - you will learn about the nature and chemical properties of high and low volcanoes, griffins and buried, underwater and underground. On the way back to Baku you will visit the Bibi-Eybat Sanctuary. In the tomb of the mosque rests the ashes of the descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. And the building itself is a significant monument of Islamic architecture of Azerbaijan. You will learn about its difficult fate and the reasons for the constant interest of travelers and researchers.

Fishing village on the sandy shore: the freshest gifts of the Caspian Sea for lunch.

After a long tour to the unique places of Absheron, you will find a trip to one of the fishing villages of Baku, the fame of which went far beyond Baku. It is here that for hundreds of years hardworking farmers grow the most famous Baku tomatoes and cucumbers, as well as olives, which then fall on the shelves.

At the end of our long tour, you will have dinner in the famous fishing village, the location of which is not determined even by Google or Yandex.
