Vanuu

Vanuu (from Sowa van uu "under the noise"), also known as Waterfall Village, is a large settlement on the southwestern coast of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu. The village consists of several scattered groups of houses within an ageing coconut plantation. Vanuu is located on Pentecost's main north-south road, about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north of Lonorore Airport and about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Melsisi. Vanuu has a Churches of Christ church, a nakamal, small stores, and a guesthouse. Children from Vanuu attend the Anglophone primary school at Ranmawot, 2 km away. Ranwadi High School is also nearby. The large waterfall and associated natural swimming pool behind the village, and the presence of good anchorage for yachts, make Vanuu a popular destination for visitors to Pentecost Island. The waterfall behind Vanuu is one of seven major falls along the river; the others are located high in the bush. There is also a limestone cave nearby. Although Vanuu is not located within the area in which land diving is practised, it is sometimes used as a base by tourists who visit Pentecost to witness the ceremony.
