The civil war between the ethnic groups tutsi and hutu, that in 1994 caused a blood-bath with further on one million of victims and two millions of refugees, on a population of little more than seven millions of inhabitants, is just a fade memory in a very clean, tidy and well organized country.
Nowadays this little nation (big as the Piemonte) is very pleasant and easy to visit, thanks to an efficient and excellent trasport services.
The rwandan territory wait only to be explored: there is a plateau covered with forests, staggered by cultivations of coffee and of thè, that gets down toward the Victory lake and with impressive volcanic formations that exceed the altitude of 4500 meters.
The equatorial climate is pleasant because of the altitudes.
In this natural splendid environment gorillas of mountain still live, retired in the thick heart of the forest of the park of the volcanos.
