For all those who still do not know this tiny paradise, today we want to invite you to know it. And it is that the little one palmyra atoll It also deserves, and much, more than a place on our blog. This atoll is about 12 square kilometers in area and, although uninhabited, it is consolidated as one of the most beautiful places in the world, because of course ... Man has not been able to do much in it and it remains intact.
Where? Well, we moved to the central part of the Pacific Ocean, just in what we know with the name of the Equatorial Sporades o Line islands, that is, an archipelago that is located just south of the Hawaiian Islands and north of the Society Islands. In this atoll we find a huge reef, two lagoons, some fifty islets composed of sand, rocks and reefs and a lot of vegetation in which coconut trees stand out.
I suppose that now you will continue wondering what it is that makes it special or curious ... Well, Palmyra atoll is popularly known as the «cursed island«, Since around him numerous stories of pirates, tragic deaths and buried treasures revolve. People are full of superstition, but others, for example like me, these things attract our attention ...
On this island there is absolutely nothing, although during the Second World War several roads and carriageways were built today in a deplorable state. Also, of course, there is a runway of about 2 kilometers, although it also needs, obviously, many improvements.
