Guarambaré is a city in the Central Department of the central-eastern province of Paraguay, about 30 kilometers south of the capital, Asunción, and part of the Greater Asunción Metropolitan Area. The city is known for its peaceful town atmosphere and the natural beauty of its surroundings, with a population of about 80,000, and an economy based on agriculture and light industry, with crops such as soybeans and corn, as well as small-scale food processing and textile industries. Guarambare retains traces of traditional Paraguayan Guarani culture, and the local population is hospitable, organizing annual folklore festivals with local characteristics.

Mele, a coastal community in the southwestern part of Efate Island in the Republic of Vanuatu, about 15 minutes from the capital city of Port Vila, is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. It is known for its stunning natural beauty with crystal clear blue lagoons, white sandy beaches and a rich coral reef ecosystem ideal for snorkeling, deep diving and sea fishing. The "underwater gardens" of Mele Bay, with their colorful schools of tropical fish and living coral, attract marine enthusiasts from around the world. Traditional Vanuatu culture has been preserved in the area, and visitors can experience tribal dances, savor specialties such as roasted whole pigs, or visit the nearby Mele Waterfalls and experience nature's gifts in the rainforest. As a representative of Vanuatu's eco-tourism, Mele is an untouched jewel in the South Pacific with its perfect blend of unspoiled landscapes and unsophisticated people.
