Cook Islands

Island country

The Cook Islands, the South Pacific archipelago nation, lies southwest of Tahiti. Of its 15 islands, the largest is Rarotonga, site of the capital city, Avarua, known for its white-coral churches. At Avarua’s Saturday market, with offerings from black pearls to sarongs, traditional Polynesian drummers and dancers perform. The country’s blue lagoons and extensive reefs make it a popular scuba-diving destination.
