Upolu is an island in Samoa, formed by a massive basaltic shield volcano which rises from the seafloor of the western Pacific Ocean. The island is 75 kilometres (47 mi) long, 1,125 km2 (434 sq mi) in area, and is the second largest in geographic area as well as with 135,000 people the most populated of the Samoan Islands. Upolu is situated to the southeast of the "big island", Savai'i. The capital Apia is in the middle of the north coast with Faleolo International Airport at the western end of the island. The island has not had any historically recorded eruptions, although three lava flows date back only a few hundred to a few thousand years.
In the Samoan branch of Polynesian mythology, Upolu was the first woman on the island of the same name.
In 1841, the island was the site of the Bombardment of Upolu, an incident during the United States Exploring Expedition.
In the late 19th century, the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson owned a 400-acre (160 ha) estate at Vailima village and died there in 1894. He is buried at the top of Mount Vaea above his former home. The Vailima estate was purchased in 1900 as the official residence for the German governor and, after British/Dominion confiscation, served successively as residence for the New Zealand administrator and for the Samoan head of state after independence.

For more great information, photos and video about Samoa, see PleaseTakeMeTo's Samoa Travel Guide - http://www.pleasetakemeto.com/samoa The Sopaga Falls are just off Le Mafa Pass Road, towards southeastern Upolu, about 40 minutes drive from Apia. The falls are quite powerful and plunge into a vast gorge surrounded by spectacular jungle. The falls are overlooked by a beautiful garden and picnic site which is an excellent place to stop for lunch. Access to the site overlooking the falls, which requires paying a small fee, is through Lotofagu village which is also surrounded by beautiful, often brightly coloured gardens well worth taking a little extra time to look through as well.

This is a bustling, friendly South Pacific Island town of about 25,000 people with a real colonial feel to it. It is a good starting point for your Samoa adventure as it has the supermarkets, car hire, travel agents, tourist information and other things you might find useful. The markets are pretty much the heart of the town and they are the real thing, definitely not just for tourists.

I asked them why the wilderness had to die
Their replay to me showed the reason was naked greed.
Mass action could stop them - But you've got to start it
World Park status for the Antarctica.
They rape and plunder whatever they find - Sea polluted and minerals mined. Poisoned animals slowly die as they suck Antarctica dry.
Cumoan chris - Gie it laldy ya raj!!
And the factory ships set sail - A death sentence for the whale
And as the sea turns to red yet more life blood is shed.
Park proposals are greeted with mirth by those who rape our Earth
So will you really just stand by and watch the last great wilderness die?
