Mud Volcanoes, one of the natural wonders of Baku and its surroundings, are among Azerbaijan’s world-famous geological riches. It is estimated that there are about 700 mud volcanoes worldwide, and approximately 300 of them are in Azerbaijan. For this reason, Azerbaijan is one of the countries with the highest concentration of active mud volcanoes in the world. NASA geologists studying the planet Mars have even noted that the mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan structurally resemble Mars’ highlands. During the tour, we reach the area where the volcanoes are located. Here, we observe this natural wonder formed by hot mud and gas bubbles emerging from the ground. Mud volcanoes offer a unique landscape together with small eruptive mud cones and surrounding geological formations.

Here, you can closely see and photograph impeccably restored Soviet classic vehicles from the 1940s to the 1970s, rare models from the USSR era such as Volga, Moskvich, and Chaika, former official state vehicles used in government protocol, and vintage automobiles of high collection value.
