The cradle of Catholicism during the nineteeth century following
the arrival of the first missionaries to the region, hundreds of stone
buildings from that era survive including churches, convents, schools,
and watch towers. Mangareva, the largest island of the region,
is home to most of the population and the center of the region's pearl industry.
The island's only small family pensions are located here in the town of Rikitea.
