Azerbaijan, known as the land of eternal fire, may be associated with oil fields. However, this trip will show that the name was for a different reason and that the country has so much more to offer than its oil fields. The program includes magical places where the eternal fire burns, places of Zoroastrian worship, which are the most venerated of the element. Baku - the capital, and at the same time the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the country, a multicultural place which, thanks to the huge deposits of black gold, has grown into the pearl of the Caucasus. The city is experiencing a second boom today. Next to the labyrinth of streets in the old town and the oil workers' houses, luxurious skyscrapers are growing at a rapid pace. Route in Azerbaijan: approx. 750 km.
