Travel guide

Tuvalu is a group of nine low-lying islands and atolls in the South Pacific that form the fourth smallest country in the world. It is also one of the most isolated and remote independent countries in the world. Since its highest point is 3 metres above sea level, some studies predict that the majority of the land will be regularly inundated by the sea by the end of this century due to climate change. While the nation makes preparations for its possible demise, it still welcomes tourists to its beautiful beaches.
