A world to discover
An exceptional culture
Located at the crossroads of several nations, Malaysia and its paradisiacal islands are subject to multiple influences. Today, Muslims, Taoists, Catholics and Buddhists form a mixture of the richest populations. There are, in fact, 47 ethnic groups that inhabit this colorful country. The different cultures make the originality of this territory: architecture, gastronomy and toponymy, for example, have preserved the traces of these varied inspirations.
Endemic species
If you have the chance to go to Malaysia, you will be able to discover the extent of its biodiversity. Unique species are found in the tropical forest, where the flora and fauna present an exceptional character. The Borneo nasal monkey is one of the finest examples of this perpetual richness.
