Vanuatu is a fascinating country to discover realities that can be very far from our daily lives. It is a country located in the Melanesia region, in Oceania, which became independent in 1980 from France and the United Kingdom.
Due to the economic difficulties it went through, it developed a system for the sale of passports for foreigners. Those who acquire it, with very few requirements, will be able to travel without a visa to another 130 sovereign states. Although it is not cheap: you have to pay $ 150,000.
But the most surprising thing is the development of the so-called cargo cults. It is a belief system in which more advanced societies are worshiped. It had its peak in World War II, when there was a cultural clash between agrarian societies and the most advanced nations of the time. From there, the Vanuatuans build straw planes and imitate the movements of the military, since they believe that this way the gods will send them food and material goods.
Those traveling to Vanuatu will also be able to witness where bungee jumping originated, as it is an ancient custom on Pentecost Island.
