The idea of warm lazy days in a tropical beach paradise is sufficient to allure travelers to see Cook Islands. It is the ideal getaway for people like you who would like to have a rest from the demanding way of life with the modern cities. Allow yourself to savor a moment of peaceful relaxation in this great haven.

Scattered from the expanse on the South Pacific are 15 tiny islands each brimming with wildlife. Apart from the immensely remarkable pure scenery, Cook Islands greet you with a Polynesian tradition uniquely molded through a thousand of years. In Rarotonga, the main island, the beaches playfully sparkle as if calling your name. But there is far more to this island than its beaches. You will discover several activities in this island at the same time. Hiking, horse riding, sailing and windsurfing are just a few of the activities tourists can enjoy. All the same, travelers on a holiday in this location prefer to just lay back and relish in the scenery and particularly the food. There are restaurants that offer an assortment of dishes ranging from Chinese, Italian and Continental but it is recommended that you try Umaki - the Island's classic normal Polynesian feast.

Aitutaki also draws in visitors because of the enjoyable coral atoll that surrounds an equally beautiful lagoon. Divers and snorkeling enthusiasts enjoy the glorious coral reef that is home to a colorful marine living. Then there's Atui, an island with limestone caves which is fit for exploration. The rest of the islands, especially those in the northern component, are seldom visited by visitors owing to its distance from the chief island.

The unspoiled beauty of Cook Islands would make you wish you could stay a bit longer. So enjoy it although you'll be able to, breathe from the fresh breeze that gently touches your face, and savor every pleasure that this island has to offer.

The island is circular and about 9.28 km² in size. It has two mountain peaks, Pachatata (Father Earth) and Pachamama (Mother Earth), with ancient Inca and Tiwanaku ruins on top of both. The hillsides, are terraced mostly worked by hand and planted with wheat, quinoa, potatoes, and other vegetables. Livestock, including alpacas, also graze the slopes. Amantaní is known as the "Island of the Kantuta", after the national flower of Peru and Bolivia, which grows plentifully on the island. Taquile is an island which sits on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca 45 km offshore from the city of Puno. About 1700 people live on the island, which is 5.5 by 1.6 km in size (maximum measurements), with an area of 5.72 km². The highest point of the island is 4050 meters above sea level and the main village is at 3950 m. The inhabitants, known as Taquileños, are southern Quechua speakers. Taquileños run their society based on community collectivism and on the Inca moral code "ama sua, ama llulla, ama qhilla" (Quechua for do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy). The island is divided into six sectors or "suyus" for crop rotation purposes. The economy is based on fishing, terraced farming horticulture based on potato cultivation, and income from the approximately 40000 tourists who visit each year. (Wikpedia)
