The world's largest living lizard in its natural habitat, then an archipelago of emerald hills and pink beaches
Indonesia
A journey far from Bali: Komodo National Park, UNESCO-listed, the only place in the world where the Komodo dragon survives in the wild, the largest living lizard, sometimes exceeding three metres, then the archipelago's neighbouring islands, including Padar's golden savanna hills and Komodo's rare pink sand beach, coloured by fragments of red coral mixed with white sand.

Days 1-2
The first chapter unfolds at Komodo National Park, the only place in the world where the Komodo dragon survives in the wild, a giant monitor lizard weighing over ninety kilos, whose bite, loaded with bacteria and venom, is enough to immobilise a buffalo within days. UNESCO-listed since 1991, the park spans several volcanic islands with savanna-covered hills, an arid landscape contrasting with the tropical jungle of the rest of Indonesia.
Day 1
On the trail of the Komodo dragons
A ranger-guided hike on Rinca Island in search of Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, between dry savanna and waterholes where the monitors gather.
Day 2
Diving with manta rays
A boat trip to a dive site renowned for its manta rays, present year-round in the plankton-rich waters of Komodo National Park.
Days 1-2
A boat ride to Padar, an island that has become one of Indonesia's most photographed viewpoints from its summit, offering a panorama over three turquoise bays separated by golden savanna hills. Nearby, Komodo's pink beach, one of the rare few in the world, owes its hue to fragments of red coral crushed by the waves and mixed with white coral sand.
Day 1
The Padar viewpoint at sunrise
An ascent to the summit of Padar before dawn to admire sunrise over the three turquoise bays separated by golden savanna hills.
Day 2
Snorkelling at the pink beach
A day at Komodo's pink beach, one of the rare few in the world, snorkelling above shallow coral reefs accessible directly from the shore.
