Toraja Village

Reviewed By ElizabethBeka - Liverpool, United Kingdom

Toraja is situated in the north of makassar the capital of south sulawesi and has a culture that is still unique to be seen until nowdays also has beautiful natural scenery. Toraja's unique culture is important and interesting to see such as:Various of burial sites,the dead effigies,the dead person is still kept in the family house,Traditional houses and rice barns and the most interesting to see in Toraja is the traditional ceremonies such as:The funeral ceremony,wedding and a new house ceremony also ma'nene ritual but we didn't see the ma'nene ritual because we visited Toraja in february 2020. Toraja has incredible views for the nature such as:ricefield terraces,beautiful views of countryside with local houses,mountains,hills,bamboo forest even Toraja has very good coffee that's why we could see coffee plantations beside cacao plantations everywhere around the region. Torajan people are nice people and really welcoming also very tolerant. When we explored Toraja for 2 days a culture tour and 2 days trekking tour, we had a very memorable trip with an experienced and a very professional local guide Mr.Arru. Don't hesitate to contact Mr.Arru if the travelers will need information about Toraja tour and trekking,rafting,Toraja traditional ceremonies information and so on.he is a reliable and great guide in Toraja.

Saluopa Waterfall

Reviewed By Nickv1354

We had an awesome two days with our guide Petrus, he took us to the waterfall and let us be there for the time we wanted to be and gave us some privacy to fully enjoy the waterfall together as a couple. Climbed the stairs up to the top of the waterfall, but beware, this has some quite high steps and these are really slippery (because of the mud/water from the waterfall). The next day he took us to a town nearby his home at the west side of lake Poso for a tarsius trip. Fully equiped (torch, jacket, long trousers, high socks, and loads of musquito repellent) we went through the rice fields to a small part of wilderness/jungle. Here we had to wait till it got dark and once it got dark, we went looking for wild tarsius. We spotted like three of them, as well as a (we think) asian palm civet. The spotting of the tarsius was way better than the experience we would have later in the Tangkoko NP, as there were some trees with approximately 25 people surrounding the tree to watch the tarsius come out of the tree.. nothing special about this when you have had a 'wild' experience/encounter together with Petrus. Next morning we went for another jungle tour during the day and we saw some hornbills and other nice birds.

Batutumongga

Reviewed By yimin516 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

A place to look at the paddy rice terrace from top, with buffaloes, stones and Tongkonan scattered in between. A beautiful viewpoint you would come to when you are visiting the stone graves as this is where they have huge stones in Tana Toraja. There is a resort if you wish to spend a day or two here.

Bori' Parinding

It is a combination of ceremonial grounds and burials. The ceremonial ground is an open space used for traditional ceremonies, including rituals for the dead and thanksgiving.

Reviewed By barefootmart - Toronto, Canada

Many tours go there but after doing one tour in the south we walked there from Rantepao the next day. We walked the long quiet route via maps.me which took 3 hours through small villages. The large burrial stones are over 100 years old. Its 30,000 idr to get in. The buildings are well kept. The burial caves are intesting as well as the baby tree. We took a couple ojaks back to the town.
