In geographical terms, the Cook Islands comprise an archipelago lost in the desolate vastness of the South Pacific. In terms of tourism, these 15 islands are mostly comparable to a miniature paradise. In the terms in which we like to explore on the blog, should be summarized as pockets of white sand and palm density, the islands would imagine for the story of a castaway, surrounded by a crystalline turquoise sea from the beach and often seems spread like a natural pool to the horizon. The following is a collection of photos that reflect a place comparable to the beauty of the Maldives.
Cook Islands is a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, reinforcing close ties with that country. In fact, many people who were born in these islands reside in New Zealand. These remote havens attract visitors from all over the world. In total, there are 15 volcanic islands, some mountainous, and other small atolls enclosing blue lagoons as Aitutaki. Although many barely above sea level, its sandbars make an inland sea wall calm and mirrored water, as seen in every picture.
To reach Cook Islands, you have to fly to Avarua, the capital of the island of Rarotonga. From there, start flights to smaller islands immersed in an eternal tropical climate, although you should know that there are possible typhoons from November to March.
