Short description of Pago Pago
Pago Pago is the harbour town of American Samoa and one of the deepest natural harbours in the Pacific, a drowned volcanic crater with green walls rising straight from the water. Rainmaker Mountain stands over it and catches the cloud that gives the bay its weather. The town is small and working, built around a tuna cannery, a market and government offices, and the Jean P. Haydon Museum keeps Samoan artefacts in the old naval station. Trails climb from the harbour to Mount Alava, and the whole north coast belongs to the National Park of American Samoa.
