Most people have never heard of a state called Tuvalu. This is not surprising, because only eleven thousand people live in this country. It is located on nine coral islands in the South Pacific Ocean. The atolls lie at the level of the world ocean, which is why the climate in Tuvalu is humid. The average annual precipitation exceeds three thousand millimeters. In addition to high humidity, the climate of Tuvalu is also very hot. The average air temperature in this island state is 30 degrees.
Despite the fact that Tuvalu is not very popular with foreign tourists, there is something to see here.
In Tuvalu, you can visit the Funafuti Marine Reserve, a place that may interest you in a full-fledged immersion in the tropical world. The reserve has been protected by the state since 1999, so while enjoying the stunning beaches and evergreen trees, you will feel absolutely safe. However, the protection of the reef and a group of islands separated by straits was not undertaken at all for the tranquility of tourists. The goal of the locals was to preserve the unique terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

The highlight of the island is the Nanumanga Caves. Located at a depth of 37-46 meters below sea level, they were found suddenly in 1968 by two amateur scuba divers. Judging by the fragments found inside the caves, people could have lived here earlier, most likely they were “people in boats” who arrived in Tuvalu from Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
