COMMENT: Sommes partis de Port Villa, présentement à Dillon Bay Erromango Island
Un peu de géographie :
Erromango is largely unpopulated and undeveloped. Today, the island's main source of income is Sandalwood (the season runs from June to August each year), supplemented by coconut crabs. Extracting Sandalwood from the native forests is all done by manual labour, much the same as during the 19th Century. It's a lucrative business and Sandalwood planting is becoming popular. Erromango is close to Efate and airfares are relatively cheap.
There aren't many flights and a visit to Erromango will take more than a few days. Erromango is not the easiest island to visit but it is quite possibly the most unspoilt.
Activities
Erromango is ideal for trekking and bushwalking. The Kauri forests are the best known attraction but remoteness and big kastom fees are a deterrent. There's plenty of forest and birdwatching is good.
Bungalows
Commercial accommodation on Erromango is limited with only one bungalow and one guesthouse at Upongkor village (Dillon's Bay). Elsewhere, accommodation can be arranged in the villages and camping is possible.
