Fire, mud volcanoes, and çay.
Azerbaijan has become synonymous with oil and fancy cars but outside of the capital, it’s different.
It’s much more humble. There are mountains and forests and historic towns and rural villages.
But if you’re looking for the ultimate off-the-beaten-path adventure, get yourself on an internal flight to the exclave of Nakhchivan.
This has to be the most fascinating and non-touristy place we have ever visited ever! You’ll find wild and raw landscapes, a very Soviet-feel, and Azerbaijan’s answer to Machu Picchu (with zero crowds).
