Discover Azerbaijan — The Land of Fire
Dates: May 6–10
Cost: $900 per person
Since ancient times, Azerbaijan has been called the "Land of Fire." Here, natural gas surfaces and burns directly from the ground. But a signature tour to Azerbaijan is not only about natural wonders, but also about culture, architecture, and gastronomy.
We will begin by exploring Baku — the stylish capital on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Here, the medieval walls of the Old City sit alongside futuristic buildings, and cozy streets lead to modern cultural centers created by the world's best architects.
Then we will head to the mountain regions of the Caucasus — to the ancient towns of Sheki and Lahic, where time seems to have stood still. We will walk through stone streets, meet local masters, taste national cuisine, visit private wineries, and learn about traditions that are passed down from generation to generation.
A separate part of the journey will be getting to know the country's natural wonders: mud volcanoes, ancient rock carvings of Gobustan, and the famous eternal fires that gave Azerbaijan its poetic name.
Of course, an important part of the journey will be the cuisine. Azerbaijan is a true gastronomic paradise. Traditional restaurants, local delicacies, wine, and dinners in atmospheric places await us.
This journey is designed specifically for a small group and proceeds at a calm, comfortable pace.
