Falefa
Falefa Valley is a landscape in the east of Upolu Island in Samoa . The valley is part of the traditional Falefa chieftainship, with the southern part at Le Mafa Pass forming the natural border between Falefa and neighboring Lotofaga . Politically, the area belongs to the Atua district . Various archaeological studies have been carried out in the area. In particular, a scientific team from New Zealand led by Roger Curtis Green and Janet Davidson has worked there. At the end of the valley is the village of Falefa . To the northeast, the smaller Vaʻa-o-Fonoti district joins, where extensive protected areas have been established.
A main road on the island runs from north to south on the east side of the valley, which connects the area with the settlements in the south-east, including the Aleipata Islands and Lotofaga .
