The Maldives, climate and paradisiacal landscapes
The Maldives
The
Maldives or Republic of Maldives is a South East Asia country located in the
Indian Ocean near Sri Lanka and India.
From North to South, the natural chain
of 26 atolls composed by 1200 islands stretches in more than 800km. Each atoll
is made by a lagoon and/or an island surrounded by a reef. Natural paths are
made to allow you to get in and out the atolls. The reef is a natural
protection for the island, preventing the beaches erosion and conserving the
beauty of the places. Inside the atolls, the deepest point goes around 90
meters rather than outside it is around 2000 meters!

There are 2 seasons in the Maldives influenced by the monsoons:
