If you are looking for lush landscapes, Kauai is for you. It seems that the most humid of the world is precisely the Mount Waialeale, a volcanic formation at the center of Kauai. The island is so green and lush from earning the nickname "Garden Island". The landscapes of Kauai, so beautiful to graze the fantastic, were the scene of many films, such as South Pacific, I lost the arch predators and Jurassic Park. The island, just 53 km long from east to west and 40 km from north to south, is shaped like a slightly flattened ball. For the most part is occupied by mountains covered with forest reserves by magnificent cross paths, the

south coast and west are drier, sunny and dotted with beautiful beaches. You'll find hotels and restaurants in the city of Lihue, Kapaa, Princeville and Poipu. One of the most interesting is to see the Na Pali Coast, a coastal strip 35 km long, characterized by steep cliffs. A path, the most spectacular of Hawaii, you can admire the steep green cliffs that are thrown to peak in crystal turquoise waters. The Waimea Canyon - dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" - is smaller and younger than 200 million years compared to its cousin of Arizona, but not entirely dissimilar. The colorful gorge carved by the river is 835 m deep, and see it seems impossible that so great a canyon can be on an island so small. Lumahai Beach On the west coast, not far from the U.S. Naval Base Barking Sands Pacific Missile Range, there is the magnificent and endless sandy beach of Polihale. The whole area is a kind of desert, so when it rains elsewhere sun lovers find their way here. Lumahai Beach, further north, is the extraordinary one kilometer long beach and a half where Mitzi Gaynor in South Pacific, the musical of 1958, promised to remove forever the man's head. This is not only a beach framed by the lush jungle on one side and the ocean on the other impetuous. Go up the Wailua River to Fern Grotto, is a good way to visit the place, but you will have to bear the idea that you're in a boat full of tourists.
