Travel to the ‘island of the Gods’ and discover the many splendours that the UneSCO World natural heritage Site of Jeju has to offer.
A place nicknamed the ‘Island of the Gods’ by locals, Jeju Island, officially known as Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, holds some of the most stunning natural beauty in the world. Being awarded the coveted UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2007, the island has just celebrated the 10th anniversary of receiving this honour, coinciding with our recent trip there to discover its spectacular landscape and picture-perfect vistas.
As South Korea’s only UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, Jeju Island boasts three wonders under its belt: namely Hallasan, the highest mountain in South Korea; Geomunoreum Lava Tubes, an underground lava network that spans the entire island; and Seongsan Ilchulbong, a tuff cone located at the eastern end of Jeju; giving rise to the moniker of “Jeju’s triple UNESCO threat”.
With such majestic sights to behold, Jeju Island is not just for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts, but the perfect destination for all travellers to explore the marvels of Mother Earth and to indulge in the mysterious allure of each site.
