Tahiti & French Polynesia travel guide

Tahiti & French Polynesia - The Marquesas (Chapter)

This is the Marquesas chapter from Lonely Planet's Tahiti & French Polynesia guidebook.

Grand, brooding, powerful and charismatic. That pretty much sums up the Marquesas. Here, nature's fingers have sculpted intricate jewels that jut up dramatically from the cobalt-blue ocean, and waterfalls taller than skyscrapers trickle down vertical canyons.
