Attractions
Gobustan mud volcanoes are an amazing natural site located in Azerbaijan. This is a unique place where nature has demonstrated its amazing power and created stunning landscapes. Mud volcanoes are outlets of hot mud mixed with gases that rise to the surface from the bowels of the Earth. This creates an impressive spectacular effect in the form of bubbling and boiling sources of mud erupting to the surface. Such volcanoes can be active, releasing clouds of thick steam and associated gases.
Petroglyphs are ancient images and designs carved or carved into rock surfaces, often within exposed rock walls or rock formations. These ancient arts are a unique archaeological heritage that reflects the cultural and religious aspects of ancient societies. Petroglyphs include a variety of images such as scenes from everyday life, images of animals, abstract patterns, symbols and anthropomorphic figures. Their style and content may vary depending on the period in which they were created and the culture that created them.
