Shamakhi is one of Azerbaijan's ancient capitals, about two hours from Baku. This private tour combines history, science and a fun stop for families.

On the way we visit the Diri Baba Mausoleum, built into the rock. In Shamakhi we see the Juma Mosque, one of the oldest in the Caucasus, and drive up to the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory with views of the hills.

At the end of the day we visit an alpaca farm, where children and adults can see the animals up close. In the evening we return to Baku.
