sightseeing
The Mud Volcanoes of Baku are a mesmerising natural wonder that feels almost otherworldly. Unlike regular volcanoes, these fascinating formations don’t spew lava; they bubble with thick, slippery mud that’s said to have healing properties, attracting tourists seeking both adventure and wellness. Scattered across the Gobustan National Park near the Caspian Sea, each volcano creates unique shapes and patterns as the mud churns and flows.
Walking close to these bubbling craters, you can almost feel the Earth alive beneath your feet. Beyond the mud, the surrounding landscape offers sweeping, panoramic views that make every visit unforgettable. Included in many Baku tour packages, a trip to the Mud Volcanoes promises a thrilling, one-of-a-kind experience for explorers and nature lovers alike.
Entry to the Mud Volcanoes is free, while guided tours, offering detailed insights and safety, charge a fee.
