A short private tour to the natural and ancient sights south of Baku. A private car and driver pick you up at your hotel in Baku and bring you back in about 4–5 hours.
The UNESCO-listed Gobustan National Reserve holds thousands of rock carvings of people, animals and boats, and a modern museum explains their history. Then we see the mud volcanoes, one of the most unusual natural sights of Azerbaijan. After rain an off-road vehicle may be needed to reach them; it is paid separately.
