Tautira

Tautira is a small village located on the northeastern coast of Tahiti Iti, the southeastern peninsula of Tahiti, in French Polynesia. It is situated in the commune of Teahupoo. Tautira is known for its picturesque setting, nestled between lush mountains and the Pacific Ocean. The village is accessible by road, though the journey can be winding and scenic, offering views of the dramatic Tahitian landscape.

The local economy in Tautira is primarily based on tourism and fishing. The area attracts visitors interested in experiencing a more traditional and tranquil side of Tahiti, away from the more developed areas of Tahiti Nui. Activities often include exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding environment, such as hiking to nearby waterfalls or enjoying the coastline. The village itself has a relaxed atmosphere, reflecting the slower pace of life in more remote Polynesian communities.

Tautira's remoteness contributes to its charm and appeal for those seeking an authentic cultural experience. The natural environment is a significant draw, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and appreciating the vibrant marine life. The village is a gateway to exploring the less-traveled parts of Tahiti Iti, offering a glimpse into the island's natural heritage and the lifestyle of its inhabitants.
