How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.

In brief

The Gobustan reserve holds thousands of rock carvings: boats, hunters, dancing figures, animals. Some are tens of thousands of years old.

The reserve joined the UNESCO list in 2007. Nearby lies one of the world's largest fields of mud volcanoes.
