About Tuvalu

Nine low coral atolls make Tuvalu one of the world's smallest countries, spread across the central Pacific. Funafuti is the capital and main lagoon, its conservation area protects turtles, reef fish and clams, and outer islands such as Vaitupu and Nanumea keep a slower, traditional rhythm. The trade-wind months from May to October are cooler and drier, the wetter season brings heavy rain and cyclone risk, and island travel depends on boats and small planes.
