Trip to French Polynesia: Vahine Island

Vahine Island

Vahine Island is a private island located north of Taha’a, which can only be described as a perfect paradise. Small and accurate to the last detail, this destination is definitely one of those to be considered for a special holiday.

Vahine Island

There are only 9 bungalows, three built over the sea and six are instead on the island. The crystal clear water of the lagoon with its beautiful gardens of coral inhabited from the much tropical species of fish.

The white sandy beaches with palm trees complete the postcard, and while the lagoon on one side of the island provides the perfect place for a quiet bath, on the other side of the ocean is felt the full force of its currents. Continue reading “Trip to French Polynesia: Vahine Island”

Croatia: Reasons to visit Zagreb

visit zagreb

The suggestion might be interesting for those who have never visited the capital of Croatia and also to those who know and can compare their feelings towards Zagreb.

visit zagreb

Zagreb, being a coastal city, tourism is highly regarded, even – or perhaps for this reason – if it is on combining the former Yugoslav and Balkan capitals. Nevertheless there are some aspects of the capital that could convince you to visit it.

It starts from the blue tram, popular transportation and very efficient, faster and much more scenic bus station. But if you prefer to walk, enjoy the many parks and green areas scattered towns, always very crowded and popular. Continue reading “Croatia: Reasons to visit Zagreb”

Rhine Falls in Switzerland

Rhine Falls

We are so accustomed to the exotic, the distant, that if we think of waterfalls, the first names that come to mind are those of Niagara, the Iguacu and perhaps those of the Zambesi, oblivious to the many natural beauties of which we enjoy in Europe.

Rhine Falls

In the photograph we see a spectacular vantage point of the Rhine Falls, Zurich side, but similar structures to this there are different, because the falls are a destination for tourists for ages.

The Rhine Falls are the largest waterfalls of Europe, means broad spread, not higher, but the show is impressive, with the waters of the Rhine, which roll over down with a roar of thunder, deafening when you approach them. Continue reading “Rhine Falls in Switzerland”

A resort situated on a slightly higher costs compared to a white sandy beach whose whiteness stands out even more in contrast with the deep blue ocean and the emerald green of the forest.

The world’s weirdest hotels: Hotel Endemico Resguardo Silvestre, Mexico

Hotel Endemico Resguardo Silvestre

Twenty independent double rooms, called EcoLoft, lie on the slopes of the hills in Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California, Mexico. And make up the Hotel Endemico Resguardo Silvestre, which is characterized by an ecological spirit, and look for wooden boxes similar to those planted on stilts of iron poles.

Hotel Endemico Resguardo Silvestre

The hotel offers its guests a swimming pool, a restaurant and wine bar to enjoy a glass while watching the sunset over the valley, heated by a small fireplace in terracotta. The interior of the rooms, which measure about 20 square meters, seems to have nothing to envy to the most traditional hotel rooms, including toilets. The spirit and philosophy of architectural construction should aim at the bungalows for a luxury camping, glamping a kind of short.
