A heaven on Earth protected from mass tourism, Sri Lanka is blessed with sumptuous vegetation that enables you to make a complete get-away from the daily grind. Its lush, wild landscapes will enrapture any ramblers in search of adventures. The island’s biodiversity is still preserved and, accompanied by a local guide, you will learn the secrets of the tropical forests and its inhabitants. Here you won’t find the “big five”, instead you will have the precious chance, on a safari through Yala National Park or the Sinharaja reserve, to discreetly admire peculiar, and sometimes very colourful, animals who emit sweet melodies. Between the forest and the mountains, the paddy fields and tea plantations enhance the unique character of the magnificent landscape while the people you meet there will confirm the friendliness of the locals. The heart of the island is full of waterfalls and rivers in which you can cool yourself or enjoy thrilling sporting pursuits such as rafting or canyoning.
