This strange land is known for its activities and value for money. Great for your pocket since the currency devalued by 75%, this little land is amazing for overwhelming scenery, exotic food in the form of delicious lamb and fish cuisine, as well as sincere hospitality of the natives. You must make a trip in 2013 while the currency value is still tourist favorable.  Hike, ride, dive or get your bike, this is the place to go.
