Hello travelers!
The Seychelles have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, such as Anse Source d'Argent in La Digue, Anse Lazio in Praslin and Beau Vallon in Mah茅. In my case I specifically visited Praslin, well known for its beaches and for being the largest island of Seychelles, where Victoria is located, the capital of the republic and its only port.
A few months ago a russian friend invited me to travel with her, and I couldn't refuse the offer as it is one of the islands with the most lush vegetation and with many opportunities to explore nature and you know how much that delights me. Mah茅 is home to one of the busiest tourist areas of the Zeychelles, Beau Vallon and its white sand. This island of the archipelago is also home to the Morne Seychellois jungle mountain.
Upon arrival we stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Seychelles hotel, which is located less than 5 meters from the beach, which was a privilege, since our goal was to relax in this endless paradise. The villa rooms are super comfortable and the services are perfect. All the villas have their pool overlooking the sea, the least expensive one costs 1300-1400, the prices are a little exuberant but it's worth it guys.
These beaches are rich in marine life, which makes them an ideal destination for diving and snorkeling, however we were not able to enjoy such distraction, but of course we grabbed some kayaks and went into the depths a little far from the shore.
We had the opportunity to travel to Praslin, another of the beautiful islands that are part of this paradise, known for its beaches and for being the second largest island in the archipelago, 12 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide. To do this we took a small plane and lived one of the most wonderful experiences of the trip, being able to see that wonder of nature from above was the greatest thing. Praslin stole my heart with its most precious jewel, Anse Lazio, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. No wonder, with that silky white sand, the crystal clear and warm water and the palm trees that swayed gently in the breeze, I felt like I was in a dream. I was very impressed by the huge rocks that are scattered throughout the coast, they seem sculpted by time, they are a distinctive and fascinating element of these islands. When mixed with the white sand and turquoise water they create a dream landscape.
The coconut is a fruit very present in the gastronomy and culture of the Seychelles. There are two main types of coconut on these islands. Cocos de Mer are a very peculiar species of coconut that only grows on the Praslin Islands, they have a very characteristic size and shape, which makes them a symbol of these islands. Coco de mer is a protected species and its export is regulated. However, we do not stop enjoying a good coconut water, from the common coconut of course, which is also grown in the Seychelles. It is a very versatile fruit that is used both for direct consumption and for the preparation of various products. In addition to being consumed as water, coconut is used in Seychelles gastronomy to prepare a wide variety of dishes and drinks. The gastronomy of Seychelles is an explosion of exotic flavors that you cannot miss. During my trip, I had the opportunity to try many typical dishes that left me wanting more.
