There, on the other side of the world, nature seems more spectacular, more savage, more grandiose ... The journey is a kind of exploration and we think of all the Robinsons of the past, virgin land discoverers, intrepid pioneers. The islands have the size of a continent or a confetti; Forests are more than millennia old and cities more than modern; Men know the roughness and beauty of nature. Australia and New Zealand are the destinations of those who dream of going ever farther.

Australia, a land of adventure
An island at the end of the world, the size of a continent, whose vast spaces are populated by strange animals ... Welcome to Australia: six states full of wonders and surprises!
The legendary Arid Outback, the red and sacred land of the Aborigines, has as its emblem the eternal Uluru, the flaming monolith where dream spirits live. To the east, the tropical coasts is a great dream for adventurers, divers and lovers of idleness. Here you can discover the Great Barrier Reef. To the south, Tasmania bears the name of one of the greatest Dutch navigators of the seventeenth century; This wild and mysterious island with its jagged mountains, countless lakes, millennial forests, endemic fauna and pristine beaches. A real dream of travelers. On the city side, modernity and design seem to be the key words of an urbanization that testifies to the extraordinary dynamism of the country but which never forgets that nature is a queen. In this country there are one the oldest forests, deserts among the most hostile and landscapes among the most beautiful on the planet.

New Zealand, land of legends

Imagine a country covered with national parks, where you can cross green meadows, along white sandy beaches, approach the geysers and bubbling basins, travel through cities of art and history. Such is the North Island, with Auckland the hectic, volcanoes, geysers and boiling basins of Rotorua, vineyards of Martinborough .... Moving from one island to another, we soon reach the South Island which combines glaciers, wild expanses and mountains, and a small Irish air with flocks of sheep grazing quietly on green grass. No one can set foot in New Zealand without being captivated by the beauty of this country.
