"The Perfumed Archipelago" Top 5 Page for this destination Comoros by alnoor

Comoros Travel Guide: 96 reviews and 132 photos

Made up by the volcanic tip emerging from a depth of 3000 meters in the Mozambique Channel, the Archipelago spins out its 4 islands - NGAZIDJA (Great Comoro), MWALI (Moheli), NDZUANI (Anjouan) and MAORE (Mayotte).

The climate is tropical, a relatively dry season stretching from May to October and a rainy and warm period extending from November to April.

The coelacanth, a prehistoric fish, considered to be one of the links in the evolution of the species and only known so far from prints lifted from fossilized rocks, was fished for the first time in Comoros in 1933.

The coelacanth is well and truly a living fossil, which had indeed stopped evolving for the past 350 million years.

Thanks for sharing Comoros Islands. Did not know that paludism is another name of malaria. Like the picture of the face mask. Used in many Asian countries too - natural and cheap. Cheers, SL
