Azerbaijan’s varied landscapes are home to an impressive variety of flora, fauna, and even just beautiful spots to discover. Azerbaijan’s nature is defined by the waters of the Caspian Sea, the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, with the rich valleys and forests that lie in between. Azerbaijan, as a country with an ancient history and rich culture, has made a great contribution to the treasury of world architecture. Among them are architectural monuments belonging to Shirvan-Absheron, Nakhchivan-Maragha, Arran, Tabriz-Sultaniyya and other architectural schools. The rare works that have survived to this day show the inherent talent of Azerbaijani architects around the world. Azerbaijani architects left their mark not only in Azerbaijan, but also far beyond its borders (Balkans, Central Asia, India and other countries).

Baku Candy Mountains, Guba, Shaghdag, Laza.
hiking in theCandy Cane Mountains
One of Azerbaijan’s most beautiful stretches of road leads for about 40 kilometres from the Guba-Baku highway west towards the mountain village of Altiaghaj. Roughly mid-way between the two one passes through a dramatic valley flanked by rolling shale mountains whose astonishing red, orange, pink and chalk-coloured swirls led British travel writer Mark Elliott (author of the very popular 'Azerbaijan' guidebook) to dub them the Candy Cane Mountains, a name that’s stuck with travellers ever since. The astonishing colours are said to be due to groundwater that’s altered the oxidation state of iron compounds within the rock. If taking an organised hike here, which can be booked through tour companies in Baku and is preferably undertaken in autumn or spring, glance down beneath your feet: you may discover tiny fossils and perhaps even a squid-like belemnite from the cretaceous period.
