Flores Essentials

Flores is defined by dramatic volcanic landscapes and ancient cultural traditions. This selection features the tri-colored crater lakes of Kelimutu and the archaeological site of Liang Bua, where remains of the prehistoric Homo floresiensis were discovered. The list includes the megalithic Bena Village and the unique spider-web rice terraces of the Manggarai people. Natural highlights range from the fossil-filled Batu Cermin Cave to the geothermal Malanage Hot Springs and the panoramic volcanic views from Wolo Bobo.
