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.
