A place steeped in history
The past and present of the 49th American State are deeply connected. It was inhabited for centuries by Native Americans, discovered and colonized by the Russians, exposed to massacres, then purchased in 1867 by the Americans who plunged headlong into the gold rush! This is a very brief summary of the State's history. Yet it is this chaotic past that is found behind every wall, every street name, or displayed in museums. Alaska presents a unique and endearing profile where nature is omnipresent and where human presence is strongly rooted in the past and tradition.

Exploration of a Diverse Population in Alaska
The population of a country reflects its history. In Alaska, it bears witness to different waves of immigration. The oldest inhabitants, the Eskimos and Indians, strive to preserve their traditions, languages, and customs. The Russians, still present through their descendants, maintain their language in certain communities, with Orthodox churches testifying to their arrival in the 19th century. Native Americans arrived during the gold rush. Today, Alaska remains very welcoming to new arrivals, and Asian communities are gaining importance. This diverse population now lives in perfect harmony.
An Unforgettable Journey to the Heart of the Wild
What strikes one upon arriving in this state, three times the size of France, is the power of the environment. With mountains topped with eternal snow, endless forests, hundreds of glaciers, and rivers with perfectly pure waters, this "great land" is a preserved place that fascinates, enchants, and dazzles those who traverse it. This exceptional environment is home to many national parks, nature reserves, and other sites that allow for the appreciation of the diversity of natural habitats.
A Journey into the Heart of the Wild
Alaska is considered one of the last wildlife sanctuaries on the planet, although only a few species have managed to adapt to its harsh climate. This wildlife presence is constantly evident, whether it's when a bear crosses your path or an elk crosses the street without paying attention to crosswalks in downtown Anchorage.
The water element also harbors unique fauna with whales, orcas, seals, otters, and of course salmon. Among these, the main species is the "king," a true sovereign of Alaska. Indeed, it sustains both animals and humans in this remote part of the world.
An Immersion in a Wild and Supportive World
Such a natural environment does not forgive mistakes. Alaskans always remain vigilant and show unwavering solidarity. If they see people who seem to be in difficulty, they rush to make sure everything is alright. It's very palpable and gives an incredible sense of security, even off the beaten path, if they exist here!
The Importance of Money in Our Lives
Alaska is an expensive destination, very expensive. The entry ticket to this preserved nature, this remarkable wildlife, and these people with big hearts is high. Why? We have turned our backs on nature, given up its maintenance, and paradoxically, we are ready to spend large sums to get close to this wild, strong, untamable wildlife. The Alaskans have perfectly understood this and want to make the most profit from these captivated tourists. In return, they offer a genuine welcome and quality services. The wallet empties, but the eyes fill with unforgettable images.
