From flaming springs and burning mountainsides to its idyllic coastline, the nation known as “The Land of Fire” is packed with strange and wonderful geography.
Anyone who has tuned in to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix has seen a tantalizing glimpse of what the capital Baku has to offer. The race, which takes place downtown, whips through the city streets taking in sights both ancient and modern in a nation that’s on the move. On April 30 the Grand Prix returns, and with it a host of tourists cheering on the fastest men on four wheels.
The artworks are dotted around 20 locations spread between three hills in Gobustan State Reserve. To get to them one must pass the Gaval Dash – one of four “singing stones” in the reserve – named because of the hollow ringing sound the two-meter-long stone makes when hit with smaller stones. Keep cool in the mountain air If you’re not going to the coast, the best way to keep cool in summer is to head for the hills. The north-westerly city of Gakh is the gateway to mountain villages like Ilisu.
