Read moreNew Caledonia is a French territory in the South Pacific Ocean, located east of Australia. It is known for its beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, and unique culture. A cultural tour of New Caledonia is a great way to learn about the Kanak people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island.
The tour will typically begin in Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia. Here, you will visit the Tjibaou Cultural Center, a museum dedicated to Kanak culture. The center was designed by Jean Nouvel, a famous French architect.
After visiting the Tjibaou Cultural Center, you will travel to a Kanak village. Here, you will meet the villagers and learn about their way of life. You will also have the opportunity to participate in some traditional activities, such as dancing and singing.
In the afternoon, you will visit the New Caledonian Museum (MUZ). The MUZ is home to a collection of artifacts that tell the story of New Caledonia from its earliest inhabitants to the present day.
Note: Before you take photographs of traditional villages or the Kanak people, ask permission. Some structures are considered to be sacred, while the local people may not be comfortable with being photographed. If you plan to enter a village, ensure you are dressed conservatively, with your shoulders and knees covered to show respect.
