One of Micronesia's most beautiful Islands, Guam has seen a spate of growth in tourism. In the earlier days one would only see Japanese tourists hogging the place; but people from other parts of the world are beginning to discover this paradise. For most people who live in the United States Guam is a U.S. military base; but what most don't know is the fact that Guam is a nature lover's dream.
Though the place is quite cosmopolitan and unlike the quintessential Island, if you happen to stray off towards remote areas, you'll discover a spectacular natural paradise. The Local Chamorro culture, the historic legacy and cuisine are the real draws!
Southern Guam is becoming a popular tourist haunt. The quaint fishing villages and untouched beach country beckon. There are quite a few nature trails that lead to water falls and natural pools.
