Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan’s steep mountains and rolling hills are sure to take your breath away.
Once part of the Soviet Union, the nation declared independence in 1991. Azerbaijan now has a healthy economy, a high literacy rate, and low unemployment. Its popularity as a religious, spa, and healthcare tourist destination is on the rise.
While 97% of Azerbaijanis claim Islam, a recent poll shows that only 21% of the citizens consider religion important. The majority of the population considers themselves Muslims in culture and ethnicity, but do not actively practice it as a faith.

Go hiking outside the Persian mountain town of Lahic, then explore the town itself. Make sure to hit up the markets, especially for their one-of-a-kind copper products.
To experience traditional Azeri life, hike up to Kis, a tiny hillside village with a 12th century church.
