Cook Islands
The Cook Islands are a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, located in the South Pacific in Polynesia. They consist of 15 atolls and islands, including Rarotonga, the largest and the only volcanic island, which is also home to the capital, Avarua. Around 17 thousand people live here, mostly Polynesians speaking English and Polynesian languages. The islands draw visitors with their natural beauty and traditional culture. The best time to visit is from May to October, when temperatures are mild.
