Great Indonesia - An Eyewitness Travel Guide

AppId is over the quota

Eyewitness guides are characterised by their colour, which differentiates them from most other travel guides. Maps, photos and diagrams light up the pages and bring to life what can be experienced when travelling. Information in other guides may be more precise, detailed and comprehensive, but readers who enjoy Eye Witness Guides do so because visually they are stimulated and excited by what they see on the pages.

Great Indonesia - An Eye Witness Travel Guide begins with an introduction containing maps, information about society, politics, culture and the arts, and history. To whet the appetite further, the history of gardens, stately homes, heraldry and the aristocracy, rural architecture, the countryside, walkers' Indonesia, the traditional Indonesia and Indonesia Food, are all colourfully explained and illustrated so that the reader is provided with an idea of what is essentially Indonesia.
Useful chapters at the end of the book cover accommodation, where to eat and practical information such as business hours, the National Trust, hospitals, communications, and currency. And even most of these pages, which in most travel guides are usually only consulted for information, are in colour with drawings and photos and consequently a real pleasure to read. There is a section giving travel information, air, rail, car, coach and on the canals. The index is comprehensive and useful.
Altogether, Great Indonesia - An Eye Witness Guides is a really visually attractive book that is a pleasure to read. It can be used to prepare and excite the traveller, but it also serves to as charming reminder of past holidays.
Cunca Rami Waterfall
The impressive Cunca Rami waterfall, with its many pretty pools that offer a refreshing, natural swimming experience, makes a fantastic day trip from Labuan Bajo.
Starting from Werang, which is located 35km southeast of Labuan Bajo, it takes you about a 1? hour scenic walk through an area which seems to be relatively
untouched by modern civilization. Hiking through small villages and agricultural land, this walk is also a lesson in culture and agriculture. If you are with a local
guide, it will be easy for you to get involved in conversations with villagers and farmers along the way. The trail leads you across various villages before it stretches
out into open farmlands with water buffaloes, pigs, and goats grazing freely in the fields.
You can observe the various stages of rice cultivation and the traditional drying methods throughout the trail. Keep an eye out for banana, cacao, vanilla, and
avocado plantations - it is amazing how everything grows and prospers seemingly effortless in this fertile area. A local guide will help you to identify the different
plants that line the walk through this Eden-like setting. In line with tradition, the farming huts and village houses are made out of bamboo: a very durable and
renewable material that is also used in many other Southeast Asian communities. Cunca Rami Waterfall Tours
Cunca Wulang Canyon
Cunca Wulang Canyon, located 30km east of Labuan Bajo and nestled in a tropical rainforest setting, is one of Flores' most striking spots for outdoor activities. Impressive waterfalls cascade into beautiful, fresh-water pools and lead into a series of smaller waterfalls and rivers a few kilometers downstream. In recent years, Cunca Wulang gained popularity among the canyoning community as an excellent destination for this popular outdoor sport. Even if canyoning is not your favorite sport, the area still offers good hiking and swimming options. The medium-impact hike to Cunca Wulang from Wersawe Village is pleasantly seamed by paddy fields in different stages of their planting and harvesting cycle. Vanilla, coffee, candlenut, and cacao can also be seen along the trail; and the last, steep part leads you through a section of lush tropical rain forest.
Cunca Wulang Canyon can be enjoyed by families as part of a day trip to dip in the beautiful pools. Adventurers seeking the thrills of canyoning in combination with navigational travel skills in the wilderness will be rewarded as well. You can combine the trip to Cunca Wulang with an excursion to the Rodak limestone caves, which takes you about 60 minutes of hiking. However, the expertise of a local guide will be needed to find the way to the caves.
