Stop At: Gobustan Rock Art, 60 km South of Baku, Baku Azerbaijan
Gobustan occupies the south-eastern spur of the Great Caucasian Range and situated 60 km south of Baku. It is a monticulate semi-desert area dissected by numerous gullies and ravines and Gobustan, in translation, means "ravine land". Caves and rock outcroppings surround the region. Settled since the Stone Age the area is one of the major and most ancient museums of rock engravings (petrogliphs) in the world.

Stop At: Mud Volcanoes, Dasgil Hill, Qobustan 3700 Azerbaijan
In addition, around Gobustan National Park along the coast of the Caspian Sea are located mud volcanoes-oozing, gurgling mounds of once-subterranean sludge and methane Unlike lava-spewing igneous volcanoes or the whiffy bubbling mud of Rotorua, the contents of Gobustan’s mud domes are cold.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Ateshgah - Fire Temple, Сураханский район, Baku Azerbaijan
Fire Temple of Baku(Ateshgah) is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town. The "Ateshgah" was a pilgrimage and philosophical centre of Zoroastrians from Northwestern Indian Subcontinent, who were involved in trade with the Caspian area via the famous "Grand Trunk Road". The temple was last restored in 1975. Today low, dark cells for monks and pilgrims in the Ateshgah Temple is an interesting museum, intended to introduce the rudiments of Zoroastrianism to the uninitiated.
