Perhaps the most beautiful of the Moluccan isles are the tiny Bandas, mere specks in the vast Banda sea. These lush, breezy islands offer little clue today that they once radically changed the course of world history.
Vasco da Gama rounded the Horn of Africa, Christopher Columbus landed in the New World, and Ferdinand Magellan’s crew [...]]]></description>

Even at this late date, the Moluccas’ largest island is shrouded in mystery. With a forbidding interior marked by a chain of huge peaks, Seram is as much a place in the imagination as a physical island of rock, jungle and sand. The Seramese are reported to possess strange faculties, allowing them to disappear at [...]]]></description>

The most pleasant trip out of Amboyna is also the shortest. The village of Soya Atas, perches 400 meters up the flank of 950-meter Mount Sirimau. A pretty little church sits in Soya Atas’ clean village plaza, and it is faced by the raja’s house, filled with momentos from the days of past splendor, when [...]]]></description>

Amboyna Island is the best known, and most developed island in the Moluccas. Good paved roads reach most of the important villages, and they unfold beautiful panoramas: steep mountains, curved bays and deep blue seas. The island provides fascinating cultural spectacles as well: sacred eels, a supernatural kidnapper who inhabits a mountain village, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

The earliest record of the Spice Isles was penned by the Chinese. It is possible that northern China acquired cloves through the Yueh merchants who bartered for the spice in Philippines. The Early Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.200) annals state that the officers of the court were required to put cloves in their mouths before addressing [...]]]></description>

In Medieval Europe, cloves, nutmeg and mace were literally worth their weight in gold. When Magellan’s round-the-world expedition—with five fully outfitted ships and 230 men—finally limped home after three years with just over one ton of cloves, it was still enough not only to pay back the Spanish king’s huge investment, but to make the [...]]]></description>

Moluccas is most famous for two trees: the nutmeg and the cloves. At one time, the Banda Islands were the nutmeg garden of the world. Few cultivated plants are more beautiful than nutmeg trees (Myristica fragrans), which thrive on Banda’s moist air and light volcanic soils. The hard, aromatic “nut” or seed of this tree [...]]]></description>

As one might expect of an island region, where dispersal required the ability to fly or swim, the wildlife of the Moluccas is marked by a scarcity of land mammals and a profusion of birds, insects and fish. The animal world can be characterized as having an impoverished Asian fauna, supplemented by scattered Moluccan endemics [...]]]></description>

The plants and mammals of the Moluccas are much like those present on Hollywood tropical islands. Overhead are exotic clove and nutmeg trees, coconut palms, bananas, and trees sprouting strange and fragrant tropical fruits. A great variety of birds – pigeons, sunbirds, lories, cockatoos, and kingfishers – fly and screech overhead. Jus offshore, the coral-filled [...]]]></description>

Molucca’s thousand-odd islands (one count claims 999; another 1029) estend across an area of some 851000 square kilometers, only 10 percent of which is land. Geologically, biologically and culturally, these islands form a fascinating zone of transition between the Sunda Islands to the west and the Sahul zone in the east.
In geological terms, the Molucca [...]]]></description>

The Moluccan archipelago, a thousand-odd islands in a vast expanse of blue, lies well beyond Bali and the usual Indonesian tourist circuit. Some of the islands are volcanic, and dressed in luxuriant vegetation. Others are coral atolls, lined with swaying palms. But there are all beautiful. And they are blessed with some of the finest [...]]]></description>
