About this experience
Cuba is a picturesque town on the slopes of Mount Shahdag. I invite you to visit it before it becomes a mass destination. You will explore two ancient mosques, Eastern domed baths from the 19th century, and a bridge built according to the project of the Russian tsar. Enjoy the gorges, waterfalls, and apple orchards. And also visit the Caucasian Jerusalem!
