Hello friends
Welcome to my blog . . . .
This time I want to share my
experience about nature field trip in Toraja Regency.
Now as usual to fill the
time during the trip, each participant who took turns alternately provided
information about knowledge about a tourist destination.
The trip to Toraja takes
approximately 8-9 hours. So for lunch we stopped at one of the Barru district
restaurants called Kupa Beach Restaurant & Cottages. After that we
continued the journey and stopped again to rest at one of the favorite places
in Enrekang Regency, the tourist attraction of Buttu Kabobong, while relaxing
drinking warm tea accompanied by beautiful natural scenery.
After that we
returned to continue the journey to the district of Toraja. Arriving in the
Toraja area we got off the bus to take pictures and as proof of documentation.
then we continue the journey to the hotel located in North Toraja called Indra
Hotel. Arriving at the hotel we were directed to the hotel lobby to be given a
room key. well after that we were directed to the room by a hotel clerk. We
also immediately prepare for dinner at the penyet ria chicken. after eating we
were given a few more directions by kak Yusuf and kak Mifta as the tour liader
and also directions from the accompanying doen. And after that we returned to
the hotel to rest.
Day 2, on Tuesday, October
22, 2019, all participants had breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, we
gather and take a picture together before starting the activity. After that, we
took the bus to Timenbayo. On the way to Timenbayo, we saw many Torajans and
saw a traditional house. We started walking from Timenbayo to the Mentirotiku
restaurant.
We passed through the rice fields and while enjoying the natural
scenery. After arriving at Mentirotiku Restaurant, we were given a little
explanation about a typical Toraja food called Pa'piong and after that we had
lunch. After lunch, we continued our journey to Lempo and Bori. There we saw
the making of a traditional Tongkonan house, a Toraja carving, that's where I
explained a little about carving and was given the chance to enter the
Tongkonan house. After that we continued our journey to Tedong Bonga. After
that, we headed to Erong Lombok. There we saw many skulls of Toraja people.
From Erong Lombok, we headed to Todi, to shop for souvenirs. After that, we
returned to the hotel for dinner. We had dinner at one of the best cafes in
Toraja Regency, Aras Cafe. After dinner, we took a picture and sang together.
After that, we returned to the hotel to rest and sleep.

have worldwide there we were given the knowledge of toraja coffee while trying
coffee Toraja in question. after that we visited the last destination in tana
