# Cultural experience in Vauatu and Land diving Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Vanuatu
gatulino 04:45 UTC 14 Apr 2013 | Dear Fellow travellers, I´m thinking of going to Vanuatu by the end of April. Basically to wittness the land diving ceremony in Pentecost. The fact is that I am very interested in Anthropology and would like to focus my trip on a more cultural aspect, with the aim of mingling with the locals, specially were tribes, ceremonies etc are held, and observe all their kastoms and interact, learning from them. I would appreciate if you could give me some tips of islands or places where i can find all this (even homestays) in Vanuatu, as the trip is so expensive that i wanna make the most out of it, and achieve a great cultural experience (if possible non turisty). Also How much time would you reccomend to spend in Vanuatu? Thanks in adavance for the help! |
