You will also have a chance to visit quite a unique place - mud volcanoes. According to the number of active mud volcanoes, Azerbaijan ranks first in the world. Many geologists as well as locals and international mud tourists trek to this place and end up happily covered in mud which is thought to have medicinal qualities. In 2001 one mud volcano 15 kilometers from Baku made world headlines when it suddenly started spewing flames 15 meters high.
