It is one of the easternmost territories of the Pacific and over time it has undoubtedly become one of the main tourist destinations in the Pacific Ocean. It includes around a hundred islands divided between some distinct archipelagos; the main and only island with an area above 1,000 square kilometers is Tahiti, where the capital is located.

The climate is tropical, with a hot and humid season between November and April in which rainfall is concentrated, while temperatures remain rather constant around 25-26° on average throughout the year.

The Islands of Tahiti enjoy a tropical climate and the peak hours of sunshine are 3,000 per year in the Tuamotu Atolls, this makes Polynesia among the places with the most hours of sunshine world sun! The temperature, which is rather constant, is refreshed by the Pacific trade winds that blow all year round.
