Summer in Malaysia is a great time to explore one of the most peculiar countries in the South East of Asia, with its  contrasts between modernity and tradition and with its spectacular nature. 
The wilderness is unique in Malaysia, and here you can find some of the most incredible species in the world, like the orangutan and the tigers or the biggest flower in the world, the rafflesia.
Taman Negara Jungle

The Petronas Towers, emblem of progress and modernity, draw the skyline of Kuala Lumpur, also known just as KL, the capital of Malaysia. Just a few minutes away, in the bustling Chinatown, markets and places to eat are packed with locals and tourist looking for typical food and cheap accommodation.

The Petronas Towers
It is necessary to live any aspect of KL in order to appreciate its great charm and its multiethnic taste.
The jungle and the beach represent those natural wonders which Malaysia is famous for. 
Melacca
Cameron Highlands
Perenthian Islands, Tioman Island, Borneo are heaven on earth, while Sabah and Sarawak forests remind of the epic adventures of Emilio Salgari character, the pirate Sandokan


In cities like Melacca (3 hrs south of KL) and Penang (northwest of Malaysia peninsula) it is still possible to feel that charming colonial taste, left through the centuries by the Chinese, the Portoguese, the Dutch and the English.
