This country amazes from the very first kilometers of the journey. In the Karakum Desert, brightly burns the Darvaza crater; in the mountains, the unique Dinosaur Plateau preserves the footprints of ancient reptiles; and the Yangykala Canyon astonishes with its palette of colors. Near Ashgabat rise the ruins of Old Nisa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Turkmenistan is perfect for those seeking unusual places and rare experiences.
