Overview
Take a trip to Nuku Alofa on your Tonga Vacation
Nuku’alofa is Tonga’s capital and largest city, located on the north coast of the island of Tongatapu. Nuku’alofa harbour is the only deep-water harbour of the island, which determined its selection as the site for the capital. Basically it is the central hub on a Tonga vacation for getting around the island of Tongatapu. One can rent a car or motor bike here to explore the island as most attractions are not in Nuku’alofa.

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.
