Azerbaijan is an intriguing nation that, like its Caucasian neighbors, is not really of either Europe or Asia, having absorbed elements of each while remaining unique. With its blazing hillsides, ancient temples, and the grandeur of Baku, this fascinating tiny country is both unusual and enigmatic. Our 8-day trip starts in Baku, the capital, which is an oddly pleasing blend of Soviet design, historic architecture, and contemporary construction.

Beyond the contemporary splendor of this metropolis is an entirely distinct nation. Highways take the place of high-rises, and every few kilometers, the landscape changes.

From the Caucasus Mountains to the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan provides travelers with amazing travel experiences. At the end of this trip, you’ll want to see more of Azerbaijan.

Take a journey down the fabled Silk Road, once braved by Marco Polo and Alexander the Great. Follow the trails of the greats into the legendary cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, which were significant trading points during the Silk Road's heyday and are now living museums full of enchantment and wonder. Imagine hundreds of minarets, turquoise domes, and graceful arched portals adorning the countryside, exotic bazaars, and the vast blue sky as your backdrop.

***
Almaty, formerly known as Alma-Ata, with a backdrop of the snow-capped Zailiysky Alatau, has always been among the more appealing Russian creations in Central Asia. It is a lovely, leafy city that looks more at home in Central Europe than in Central Asia, with museums, cafes, and nightlife. Kazakhstan's second city (and former capital) serves as an excellent entry point into Kazakhstan. Almaty, with its spectacular architecture, thriving food scene, and odd idiosyncrasies, is an excellent introduction to Kazakhstan. The highlight of this journey, however, is not the city itself but rather the natural beauty that surrounds it.

The breathtaking surroundings will grab your imagination. The diverse terrain provides some wonderfully different vistas. It has snow-covered mountains, alpine lakes, scorching deserts, dense coniferous woods, beautifully painted canyons, and boundless steppes. The majesty and magnificence of Kazakhstan's natural, untamed settings will astonish you on this one-week exploration. Join us and explore Almaty like a local!
