Discover the cultural heart of South Sulawesi as we explore Makassar’s colonial past and canoe through the limestone karsts of Rammang-Rammang. Meet fishing families on Tempe Lake before travelling to the highlands of Tana Toraja, where we uncover ancient burial sites, Tau Tau cliff graves and traditional Tongkonan houses. Trek through rice fields dotted with megaliths and experience the rich traditions of this fascinating region.
For adventure travellers craving something truly off the beaten path, this nine-day journey into the heart of Sulawesi is unlike anything else.
