We visited Pagaruyung palace in August 2019. This palace is the most famous attraction in MinangKabau area. The palace is very beautiful and well preserved. It has typical architecture of Minangkabau style with peaked roofs and walls that are remarkably carved and richly decorated. Then, we visited other typical villages with very beautiful and colourful in the surroundings, i.e. Sulit Air, Pariangan and Rao Rao. Highly recommended to visit!!!

We visited Harau canyon in August 2019. The landscape of the valley is beautiful with steep 100 meters high red-orange rocky cliffs. At the bottom, there are river, many rice fields with people and Indonesian buffaloes working in the fields. We also visited the Sarasah Bunta waterfall. This beautiful waterfall is located in the Harau valley nature reserve, and the access is very easy. This atmosphere of the site is peaceful, with a natural swimming pool. The landscape is also very fine with steep rocky red-orange cliffs, withn colors sparkling in the sunlight lights!!! Wonderful!!!
