Afurja Waterfall

The most well-known natural landmark in Azerbaijan is the Velvelichai river's Afurja Waterfall. State protection is provided for Afurja Waterfall, which is designated among the "Nature Monuments of Azerbaijan." It is described as a lovely fall, peaceful countryside, and a really pleasant environment.

The picturesque falls are hidden away in a secluded spot in the rustic village of Afurja by the Velvelichay river. Visiting every season offers a new experience. In autumn the forest around it is bursting with color, while in winter the waterfall may well be frozen over. There is a stunning view with a completely white backdrop in the winter when it is below zero. Travelers can take advantage of the summer's tranquil weather and lush mountain woods. Not every vehicle can ascend this waterfall. Taxis are available to take tourists from the riverfront to the waterfall and back. However, if you can hike this region (it takes around 30 to 40 minutes to climb to the waterfall and another 50 minutes to hike back), you can see beautiful pictures of the mountains and forests along the route and also drink very cold spring water. Pay attention to your footwear; avoid wearing slippers and other styles of shoes that can slide off on a wet surface. savor herbal tea in a nearby cafe with regional jam outside under the trees.

In Quba city there are just 2-3 drivers who speak English well, very hard to communicate with locals but if you ask at your hotel they will contact you with those English-speaking drivers, it will be good for you after when you reach the village Afurja you can get the waterfall by local Niva jeeps (15manat) or just hike the way 3km to waterfall.
