The first site to be inscribed in Vanuatu comprises three early 17th century AD sites located on the islands of Efate, Lelepa, and Artok.
This site serves as a testament to the convergence between oral tradition and archaeology, providing valuable insights into the enduring significance of Roi Mata's social reforms and conflict resolution methods, which remain relevant to the people of the region to this day.

This trip delves into the tales of cannibalism from the not-so-distant past, exploring primitive yet effective methods such as spears and trapping techniques used to procure wild resources like pigs, chickens, and fish.
In cases where certain fish are suspected to be poisonous, Ni-Vanuatu locals demonstrate a safety test: if ants avoid the sample, it's deemed poisonous; however, if ants consume it, it's considered safe for consumption by people.
Led by the chief and professional guides, participants will gain insights into various village lifestyles.

This provides an opportunity to appreciate the diverse beauty and culture that makes Vanuatu the unique country it is.
