Awaken all your senses in this welcoming city
An exhilarating combination of artists, aromatic dishes, tempting bazaars, galleries, museums and exquisite handcrafts – Azerbaijan’s charming capital Baku beckons. This pedestrian-friendly city is well suited to exploring on foot, so take your time wandering down streets and in and out of shops and stalls.
Make time for a carpet-weaving masterclass with skilled artisans in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Old City. You’ll get to craft your very own woven carpet, learning about the history of this artform as you work. If you want to deepen your knowledge of the industry even further, there’s a museum dedicated to all things woven, the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum.
Head about an hour out of town to Gobustan National Park where you’ll discover ancient rock paintings created by people seeking shelter in caves there as far back as 40,000 years. Another highlight that lies outside the city is Yanar Dag, or ‘burning mountain’. It is believed that the eternal fire has been burning for at least the last 5,000 years, and even inspired Azerbaijan’s early fire worshippers. Gas escapes from deep in the sandstone rocks and earth ensuring that the flame continues to burn.

The team at Jacada (led by Lily Bunker and Flavia Toledo) did a fantastic job for our trip to Argentina and Chile. Their advice during the planning phase, their organization, and the itinerary that they planned were all top notch. We also really appreciated the many small touches that made our trip feel like a luxury vacation. Everything from small…
We’ve traveled with Jacada several times (5 or more) and each one is spectacular. The hotel selection, local guides, and trip coordination are all customized and on target with our style. Our most recent trip was to Morocco…. Our favorite part was a toss up between the Agafay desert stargazing vs the Essaouria exploring vs the food tour in Marrakech.…
We have traveled with Jacada four times; to Patagonia, Tanzania, Colombia and a longer trip to northern South America. Each time we had a wonderful trip and felt very supported throughout. We stayed in world class lodgings in amazing places and had experienced guides. Never once did we wait to be picked up. On the rare occasion that there were…
Jacada came through in putting together the vacation of a lifetime. There was no detail that was looked over. Every accommodation, activity, meal, transport... all of it was planned perfectly and exactly to our liking and personal style of travel. Expensive, yes, but actually worth every penny and then some. Can't recommend highly enough.
We booked a 9 day trip to Egypt through Jacada travel (we are avid travelers but had not worked with Jacada before). Trip was for four with two of our adult children. We visited Cairo/Aswan/Abu Simbel/Luxor and Hurghada on the Red Sea. We did this trip by land vz a boat on the Nile (either means are a great option).…
