Natural Wonders of Flores
Flores features a diverse landscape ranging from the limestone chambers of Liang Bua, where the prehistoric Homo floresiensis was discovered, to the megalithic stone shrines of Kampung Adat Bena. The island's volcanic activity feeds the Malanage Hot Springs, while the Mbeliling forest and Moni region house significant cascades like Cunca Rami and Murukeba. These sites offer insight into the island's archaeological significance and its unique geological formations, including the fossil-rich walls of Batu Cermin.
