Malasia es un país de contrastes, dividido por la mitad por el Mar de China Meridional. Por un lado, los tesoros coloniales, las islas tropicales y los paisajes urbanos modernos cautivan; mientras que en Borneo, las selvas tropicales y los animales salvajes dominan el paisaje. Malasia está coronada por su elegante capital, Kuala Lumpur, donde reinan las Torres Gemelas Petronas, las Cuevas Batu y la tentadora comida callejera. En la histórica Malaca, los sitios del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO luchan por llamar la atención; Kota Kinabalu magnetiza a los viajeros con ardientes puestas de sol y una vibrante escena artística; en Penang, las joyas coloniales de Georgetown complementan la mejor comida del país; y en las playas de arena blanca de Langkawi, los juerguistas y los amantes del relax se empapan del ambiente isleño. Las oportunidades para aventuras al aire libre abundan: camine por las plantaciones de té esmeralda de las tierras altas de Cameron, camine hasta la cumbre ardiente del volcán Monte Kinabalu o explore la selva tropical rica en fauna del Parque Nacional Taman Negara. Los amantes de la naturaleza pueden visitar elefantes rescatados en el Santuario de Elefantes de Kuala Gandah, observar orangutanes en la densa jungla de Borneo o ver una exhibición deslumbrante de luciérnagas en la laguna de Kuala Selangor. Además, la proximidad de Malasia a Tailandia, Singapur e Indonesia no solo la convierte en una plataforma de lanzamiento ideal para viajar por el sudeste asiático, sino que también crea un fascinante tapiz cultural que garantiza emocionar y encantar.
Malaysia has two main areas: peninsular Malaysia, south of Thailand on the Asian mainland, and East Malaysia, in Borneo. Malaysian Borneo is known for caves, rivers, rain forest, indigenous cultures, and orangutans; peninsular Malaysia includes the colonial-era cities of George Town (Penang) and Melaka, plus Langkawi, the nation’s favorite resort island.
...MásOn peninsular Malaysia, George Town and Melaka hold UNESCO World Heritage status; the Taman Negara National Park boasts virgin rain forest; popular islands include Langkawi, Redang, and the Perhentians. In Malaysian Borneo, a river trip and orangutan viewing is a must; divers love Sipadan; the Gunung Mulu and Kinabalu national parks are UNESCO-listed.
...MásMalaysia is a diverse country which is larger than Italy and includes almost 900 islands. Ideally, allow 14 days to see the highlights of peninsular Malaysia, and an additional 14 days for Sabah in Borneo: Sarawak, the other half of Malaysian Borneo, takes longer to explore in full.
...MásMulticultural Malaysia is blessed with Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and hybrid foods, so most visitors spend plenty of time eating. Nature lovers enjoy waterfalls, river trips, mangrove adventures, firefly viewing, rain-forest hikes, and wildlife encounters, including orangutans. Snorkeling and other water sports are popular on many islands, as are walking tours in heritage areas.
...MásSame-sex activity is illegal in Malaysia and, while travelers are unlikely to face prosecution, LGBTQ visitors should avoid public displays of affection and install a VPN on their phone as many LGBTQ sites are blocked. Importing either drugs or unlicensed firearms may be punished with death, while penalties for drug possession include whipping.
...MásNo. Although pickpocketing, petty crime, bag-snatching, ATM fraud, and drink spiking are not uncommon, most of Malaysia is safe. The US State Department advises against travel to eastern Sabah due to the risk of kidnapping. If renting a motorcycle, ensure you have both a license and full insurance, and always wear a helmet.
