A hill has been constantly going on, night and day, for almost 50 years. This natural phenomenon originated in the very name of Azerbaijan, the «land of fire». In fact, these are underground pockets of methane, which go back to the surface: Shot accidentally in 1958, the flames have never gone off since! Attraction is very popular in winter when the flames seem to emerge from snow. By bypassing the flames, you can climb up the hill, which offers a beautiful view of the peninsula, to the sea.

Un lieu à ne pas manquer en Azerbaîdjan
A moins d'une heure de route de Bakou, c'est un endroit incontournable lors d'un séjour à Azerbaîdjan. Même si je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus spéctaculaire, les flammes ne dépassant pas les 20-30 cm, c'était néanmoins une expérience unique. Un guide est proposé lors de l'achat du billet, mais l'intérêt est limité vu l'étendue du site. Depuis le plateau supérieur, vue intéressante sur la Caspienne et les champs pétroliers à proximité de Bakou.
