8 Days / 7 Nights
This will be a trip in which we will
explore the entire of Flores, from the
three lakes to Komodo National Park.
This event certainly has some trekking activities,
but this time we mainly focus on the very
interesting culture of Flores. We will visit several
villages and ethnic groups. On the way we will
enjoy the splendid panoramic views on volcanoes
and paddy fields. And of course snorkeling will be
on the programme as well...
Kelimutu is a volcano, close to the town of Moni in central Flores Island of Indonesia. It contains
three summit crater lakes of varying colours. Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People) is usually blue
and is the westernmost of the three lakes. The other two lakes, Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of
Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake) are separated by a
shared crater wall and are typically green or red in color, respectively. The lake colors do vary on a
periodic basis. Subaqueous fumaroles are the probable cause of active upwelling that occurs at the
two eastern lakes.
Besides the visit of the local villages and ethnic tribes, we will make an excursion to Komodo
Island. We will explore the island and spend the night on the boat before continuing our excursion.
