※ This video is part of <World Theme Travel - Seychelles Grand Exploration 1-4> broadcast from March 30 to April 2, 2015. In a world where trends and environments change rapidly every day, there is a country filled with landscapes that have remained the same for 150 million years. Seychelles, with a population of 90,000 and 115 large and small islands, is a country where people have settled and lived for only about 250 years. As a result, the islands are preserved with 150 million years of primeval forests and primitive creatures. Amazing tropical forests, strange granite rock formations, plants and animals you never see before, and people who live as one with nature. A special world that you can’t find anywhere else on Earth, a place where nature that surpasses human imagination lives and breathes. Let’s go to Seychelles, a country filled with great nature that will have you in a state of ecstasy. Mahé Island, the heart and largest island of Seychelles, which consists of 115 archipelagos. Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, located on Mahé Island, is the first destination. Victoria, located on the north side of Mahé Island, is the only city in Seychelles and the smallest micro-capital in the world. However, this city, where 80% of the Seychelles population lives, is also a place where you can experience the real, raw ‘Creole culture’. Let’s take a close look at Victoria, the lively capital of Seychelles. Next, we head to Beau Vallon Beach, which is considered a treasure beach on Mahé Island. From parasailing, where you can fly in the sky with the emerald sea of ​​Seychelles beneath your feet, to snorkeling, where you can swim with fish in the clear sea! Let’s dive into the charm of cool water sports that will thrill your whole body. This time, we head to the kitchen of Seychelles. It’s a dish that can only be found in Seychelles: Fruit Bat. Meet the locals who catch bats by fishing, and taste the special Seychelles dinner, bat curry. The treasure island of the Indian Ocean. Mahe Island was famous as a base for pirates even before people settled there. The most notorious pirate in Seychelles, 'Olivier Le Vasouir', is the main character of the legend that he hid a huge treasure near 'Bel Ome' on Mahe Island. Meet the explorer who is looking for the treasure, and dive into the legend of the hidden treasure by solving the clues one by one. Praslin Island, the second largest island in Seychelles, can be reached by boat in about an hour from Mahe Island. There, you will see the Garden of Eden, where the primeval forest from 150 million years ago still exists. In the 'Vallée de Mai National Park', which is registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage, you will be greeted by the 'coco de mer' fruit, called the 'erotic palm tree' because it resembles the genitals of men and women, and the giant palm trees that grow to the sky. Next, we head to Cousin Island, a special nature reserve where you can encounter rare species and pure nature of Seychelles. Here, you can meet various species such as the White Tern, which meets only one mate in its lifetime and stays with them for life, and the Magpie Robin, which follows the turtles and eats insects. This time, we go to see the Seychelles Aldabra Tortoise, an endangered species. Curieuse Island, a small island 1km away from Praslin. This island is a shelter for rare animals with more turtles than people. The island is home to over 200 turtles. Let’s meet the Seychelles Aldabra Tortoise. We also visit Anse Lazio, a beautiful beach located northwest of Praslin. The beautiful magic of colors shown by the coral-colored sea and the pure white sand beach made of coral. This beautiful beach is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for its natural beauty. Walking along Anse Lazio Beach, we reflect on the true meaning of travel. Every Wednesday, a delightful festival is held on Mahe Island. Labrin Market (Bazar Labrin) is lined up along Beau Vallon Beach. You can taste snacks that Seychellois people enjoy. We visit Labrin Market, which is lively until late at night with lively Creole music performed by street musicians. This time, we head to La Digue Island, a quiet island where time seems to have stopped. With a population of about 3,000, this island still has drinking water delivered to the island by boat, and the number of vehicles is limited to protect nature. Instead, it is a slow but pure and quiet island where people ride horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. The highlight of La Digue Island is Anse Source d'Azon Beach. Granite rock formations and white sandy beaches made of broken corals surround the beach like a watercolor painting. We visit a fantastic beach that encapsulates the charm of Seychelles, a natural spectacle unspoiled by civilization. La Digue Island is a small island that can be explored in 2-3 hours by bike. From romantic beach weddings to traditional coconut oil mills using cows, you can enjoy the charm of La Digue Island up close by riding a bike. Since the 18th century, when people of various races began to immigrate to Seychelles, Seychelles has developed a Creole culture. To them, Creole is not just a mixed race, but is considered a unique way of life. Let’s follow the Creole people who accept ‘differences.’ Seychelles is an island nation, but there are many mountains where you can observe lush primeval forests. To experience another side of Seychelles, climb the Morne Blanc trekking course, the second highest peak in Seychelles at 667m, and feel the thrill of looking down on the natural landscape of Seychelles from the top. Then, head to the oldest traditional market in Seychelles, ‘Selwyn Clark Market.’ This market, which first opened in 1840, has created a short but rich history with the Seychellois people. From various tropical fruits to freshly caught red sea bream and tuna! Let's visit the market full of food provided by the natural environment. To experience the vivid scene with my whole body, I went tuna catching. I went by boat for 30 minutes to meet the precious guests, the tuna. Also, I participated in the 'Seychelles Eco Marathon', the essence of Creole culture. I could not help but exclaim in admiration at the beautifully unfolding marathon course along Beau Vallon Beach. I ran along the beautiful beach and sweated with people from all over the world. And I visited the picnic of Creole people who enjoy weekends with their families even in rainy weather and became their family. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - Seychelles Archipelago Grand Exploration Part 1-4 ✔ Broadcast date: 2015.03.30~04.02 #TV로보보골라뎨도큐
