Overview
Take a trip to Upolu on your Samoa Vacation
Upolu is the second largest and most populated island of Samoa. The capital city is Apia. This is an island where you have to spend time visiting the many attractions. You can take a drive along the main winding road which circumvents the coastline and will take you past some magnificent beaches such as Paradise Beach, a good place for diving, windsurfing and other watersports on Samoa vacations.
You will see offshore, coral reefs along the beach that is part of a large and amazing ecosystem. Also, see rugged lava cliffs that spill into the ocean. Lake Lanoto’o National Park should be explored with its conservation area within the rainforests on a trip to Samoa.
Another park is O Le Pupu-Pui National Park which contains Samoa’s highest mountain. On the island, it is possible to view beautiful colonial mansions or take a walk through the bushy trails within the national parks.

The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
The Pyrenean Mountain scenery and tax-free shopping are two of my favourite things about travelling to Andorra.
I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
Nicaragua is well known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lakes, rainforests, and colonial cities. I love how friendly the people are and how delicious the food is! There is always something fun to do in Nicaragua!
Festival de Los Farolitos is an annual nighttime festival held every September in the town of Ataco, where the streets, houses, and plazas are illuminated with thousands of handmade lanterns (farolitos). Families craft them using colored paper, wood, calabash gourds, or jars, each with a candle inside. Although it's tied to the eve of the Virgin Mary’s birthday, it has evolved into a cultural celebration of community, light, creativity, and town pride.
