Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a land of volcanoes and magic, underwater ship wrecks, ancient art and dance, waterfalls and blue holes, organic foods and a myriad of hidden bays and beaches. Discover the lush tropical islands, warm turquoise waters, the friendly people, the colours, the culture and the fantastic food. Originally inhabited by people from Melanesia, Vanuatu had its first European settlers in the 19th century. France and the UK claimed some of the land and it was called the New Hebrides until Vanuatu’s independence in 1980. Made up of 83 small islands, the largest island is Espiritu Santo and the capital Port Vila is found on the island of Efate.
