Some tourist travel tips for Vanuatu
This is a country located very close to Australia, which is located on the islands of New Hybrids. The islands were originally inhabited by Melanesians. The first European to set foot on these lands was the Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernandez de Chiros, who gave the name Australia del Espiritu Santo (translated as Southern Land of the Holy Spirit). 74 years ago, the islands ceased to be a joint possession of Britain and France and were renamed the Republic of Vanuatu.
One of the most interesting sights there is the National Museum of Vanuatu in the capital Port Vila. There you can see traditional artifacts, bangs, mussel jewelry.
If you visit it you will have the opportunity to paint with sand and watch demonstrations with traditional instruments. Another place worth seeing is the active volcano Yasur, on the island of Tana. It impresses with its impressive beauty and fiery colors. The other beautiful place is the Millennium Cave. It is located 15 km from the second-largest city in Vanuatu – Luganville. The experience includes crossing a bamboo bridge, climbing, contact with nature – beautiful rainforests and overgrown areas
