00:00Azerbaijan is a relatively small destination and covers 8 out of 11 climate zones, meaning
00:12subtropical climate zones with lush green, moss-covered stones, waterfalls, tea plantation
00:18lemon trees.
00:19You cross semi-desert, mud volcanoes, 80% of the world's mud volcanoes are located in
00:26Azerbaijan.
00:27It's these bubbling things where you can learn about these beautiful, beautiful natural phenomena.
00:38Then you come to Baku.
00:39Baku is on the shore of the Caspian Sea.
00:42Spend about two, three days in Baku exploring the vibes of the city.
00:46You will dive into culinary, culture, architecture.
00:49It's a city with a seaside boulevard, lots of cafes, outdoor places, a medieval walled
00:56city with narrow streets.
00:58And then you have the modern city with pedestrian zones, shopping malls, and state-of-the-art
01:03architecture.
01:09Maybe you would go skiing for a few days.
01:11It's only two hours ride from Baku, beautiful skiing resorts.
01:15So Azerbaijan is an alternative destination also for winter sports.
01:19I think most important is to break our boundaries in terms of the perception and image perception
01:26of Azerbaijan.
