Informations supplémentaires:
It's estimated that 300 of the planet's estimated 700 mud volcanoes are located in Gobustan, Azerbaijan, and the Caspian Sea. Mud volcanoes of Gobustan are a popular attraction for both scientists and tourists, the latter often bathing in mud, which is thought to have medicinal qualities. In April 2021, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the new Mud Volcanoes Tourism Complex, which was inaugurated in June 2024. Mud Volcanoes Tourism Complex covers the area of 12-hectares, and includes a quad bike path, footpaths, a zip line and an observation tower, a parking lot, a souvenir shop, as well as therapeutic baths. The road infrastructure was improved by extending a 20-kilometer road from the Gobustan Reserve to “Gilinj” mud volcano site and nearby volcanoes and create the Baku-Gobustan-Mud volcanoes tourism cluster. The Complex has a Nature History Exhibition Hall that displays a collection of animal skeletons from Azerbaijan and around the world, while the minerals exhibition features nearly 80 types of minerals found in Azerbaijan. There is also a 110-seat restaurant in the complex
