Seychelles: Praslin Island
built 622 days ago
That oft-used word "paradise" often rears up in descriptions of the Seychelles, and with very good reason. There are no serious natural hazards, no malaria or serious diseases, and the islands lie outside the cyclone and hurricane belts. A good standard of living means there is little crime, and careful control of tourism-related development has kept arrivals to a reasonable level and forbidden unsightly high-rises.

Aride is one of the most striking of the granitic islands in Seychelles. The views from the sheer escarpments are really breathtaking and the bird colonies spectacular. Good shoes and a bottle of water are essential for this tour? but any discomfort is worth it!

Some say that the uninhabited islands of Seychelles were sighted by Vasco de Gama in 1502... recorded landings did not occur until 1609. In 1756 the French made a formal claim to the islands.
