Polynesia
It’s 1779. Humidity and palm trees guide your way through narrow paths in the midst of a
maze of vegetation. You have arrived to the Polynesia discovered by sailors such as Captain
Cook, which was colonized by the Europeans and interpreted by masters such as Gauguin.
Before you, a paradise.
The nobility of the scenery
For the construction of the Polynesia area material directly brought from the Pacific Islands and cane from different
parts of Asia as well as palm leaves from Almería and Alicante were used. One curious fact is that 150 km of coconut
fibre string (from India) were used for the wooden junctions, handrails and fastening points. A professional climber
spent days and days tying one by one the knots for all huts, paths, footbridges and catwalks.
In Polynesia, realism reaches all details, even the strange sculptures you will find along the way are divinities, the
“Tikis” brought from the Islands of Fiji and Tonga.
When the air blows softy to a breeze, the rustle of the palm trees turns into fine music, in wind becomes stronger, the
sensation of strolling in the middle of the tropic increases. Besides, you will soon hear another sound: the constant
melody of waterfalls and torrents sliding over volcanic rocks.
