Some years back, the popular TV series "Survivor" spent an entire season in the lovely country of Vanuatu. The beautiful landscape and scenery, excellent weather conditions, and the peaceful and remote locations were ideal for their purpose. Naturally the footage taken in Vanuatu has inspired thousands of people to visit the country, and in particular the beautiful countryside where "Survivor" program took place. If you are one of those people for whom hiking and backpacking is essential part of a holiday, then Vanuatu is the right place for you. There are many accommodations available for those who would like to spend their time in Vanuatu backpacking, hiking and traveling through the mountains and shores of this remarkable place. Accommodations There are a tremendous range of hostels, lodges, cabins, campgrounds and bungalows available at budget rates for those who need only to have access to a bathroom and shower facility as well as a tent site. Many guest houses also offer shelter and accommodate the many Vanuatu backpackers that are now coming to enjoy the country. Many of the camp sites and campgrounds are set directly on beaches or in extremely scenic and well located areas. Most will offer basic facilities and allow for many nights of accommodation, or to use the sight as a base camp. It is important to do a bit of research before trekking off into the interior of Vanuatu. Many villages request visitors ask the village elder for permission to visit, and some of the most scenic places are located at distances that require quite long hikes. Popular hiking destinations include the Mele Maat Cascades, Erakor Lagoon, Worawia and Hideaway Cove beaches. Stock up Before you go backpaking to Vanuatu you should also remember that there are really no dining establishments or grocery stores located with any sort of regularity outside of the city of Port Vila. It is therefore a good idea to stock up on simple necessities prior to leaving for the more remote areas of the countryside. Many Vanuatu backpackers do not remain only on the island of Efate, but for supply purposes this is the best choice. Experienced and amateur backpackers will enjoy a great deal of success on their Vanuatu adventures with a little advanced planning. The islands are noted for their beauty and the remarkable friendliness of the residents who live there. Quite often visitors to more remote areas are welcomed into town events or invited to join a family for a traditional meal.
