Labuanbajo, surrounded by forested hills and thousands of islets, is one of the most beautiful places in Indonesia. Bajawa is also in the mountains, along with small and spectacular villages like Bena, Bela, Nage, and Wogo. Riung has beautiful beaches within a marine park with islands populated by mangroves. Nggela and Jopu are known for their beautiful sarongs and ikat shawls. The whaling population of Lamalera offers the opportunity to see stranded boats and men making harpoons. The three-colored lakes of Kelimutu have the rare habit of changing colors and are the island’s main attraction.
