Vanuatu
On 65 inhabited islands in the South Pacific, people often live without electricity and on very little money – and still top the Happy Planet Index. A journey to the Ni-Vanuatu, their caves, volcanoes and a sense of community that needs no rules.
The Ni-Vanuatu people live on 67 Pacific islands without traffic lights, beggars or hustle and bustle. Where 110 languages are spoken and volcanoes rumble every 15 minutes, visitors can explore sensational caves and then drink kava from wooden bowls. Vanuatu shows that happiness does not need status symbols.
Blue springs in the jungle, lava fountains against the evening sky – this visual journey through Vanuatu reveals a paradise without hustle and bustle, without traffic lights – but with plenty of nature and encounters.
