not reached the island and its charm has been preserved.
The island
offers uniqueness and diversity - a holiday here will be like no
other...
beaches, sun, sea and coconut trees are all present all along the
coast. Into the mainland the beautiful scenery changes marvellously: tropical
forests, dry forests, steppes and savannahs, large valleys both green and red
are lined up offering you scenic beauty of the nature. The island also has a
staggering diversity of plant and animal species, some 80% of which are found
nowhere else on the planet.
