destination, it is particularly dedicated to nature tourism with outdoor activities,
such as hiking, diving, whale watching, among others.

If
tourists from all over the world loved Boracay, it was for its perfect beach of
soft white sand and flour, 4 kilometers long, its turquoise waters and its
animation. Probably Boracay had the highest density of hotels and tourists per
square meter. It's no coincidence that Boracay is called "the Asian
Saint-Tropez".

Park. Today we walk slowly to appreciate its unique landscapes and absolute
silence.

experiences in the world.

the small huts with several superimposed roofs… The visit begins very strongly,
with a small bridge which crosses a lotus pond.

on the road connecting Christchurch to Queenstown or even to Mount Cook, Lake
Tekapo has become an essential place for a road trip in the South Island of New
Zealand. Its location is not the only reason why tourists are attracted to this
city. Indeed, the landscapes offered by this place with its magnificent lake
surrounded by mountains have a lot to do with the popularity of this place. The
lake, approximately 83 square kilometers, is over 700 meters high.
