This was a fantastic trip and the guide was a mine of useful information. The pink lake has to be seen to be believed and the views from the five finger mountain was unreal. Really enjoyable to see the candy cane mountains. A long day but a very good one

Full description

Discover the natural beauty of Azerbaijan on a guided day tour from Baku, exploring the Candy Cane Mountains, the Pink Lake, and spiritual and historic landmarks like the Bibiheybat Mosque, the First Oil Well, and Besh Barmag Mountain.

Your journey begins with a visit to the First Oil Well, the world’s first industrially drilled oil well, where you'll learn about Azerbaijan’s pivotal role in shaping the global energy industry.

Next, stop at the Bibiheybat Mosque, a stunning 13th-century architectural masterpiece and one of Baku’s most important religious sites.

Continue to the surreal Pink Lake, where the vibrant hues of the water, caused by natural minerals and algae, create a striking and photogenic landscape.

After that, visit Besh Barmag Mountain, a sacred and culturally significant site known for its panoramic views and spiritual atmosphere. This mystical destination has long been a place of pilgrimage and reflection.

You'll then enjoy a relaxing lunch break at a local fish restaurant, where you can sample traditional Azerbaijani flavors in a tranquil setting.

Finally, arrive at the spectacular Candy Cane Mountains, famous for their red-and-white striped formations. These naturally banded hills offer an unforgettable view and are a highlight for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

This scenic day trip combines history, spirituality, and unique natural wonders, making it one of the most memorable experiences from Baku.

The tour is great if you have limited time in Baku. It’s a very busy day, but you get to see some of Azerbaijans finest culture, history and natural beauty! Our guide (Samir) and driver (Safar) were very friendly and helpful throughout the day. Be prepared for lots of driving on very bumpy roads!
