Overview

Gobustan geographical region is situated in the west-south of Baku. The meaning of the word «Gobustan» is derived from two words «gobu» – «ravine» and «stan»- «place», i.e. ravine area. The word «gobu» is also of Turkic origin and means «a dried up river valley».

The tour will start off at Gobustan Museum where you will see ancient human bones, and work tools used back to a thousand years ago during the Mesolithic period. Then, you will advance to the mountain in order to see real rock paintings in the open-air museum. Later on, the tour will continue to the Mud Volcano which is not far from Gobustan National Museum.

Azerbaijan keeps the first place in the world for the number of mud volcanoes. About 300 mud volcanoes are to be found in Azerbaijan – at the shore, in the sea, and on islands. During this trip, you will get a great chance to see these amazing active volcanoes from a very close distance. Your tour will end in the same location where it started.
