Tanah Toraja - Explorations
Your two days exploration will show you the amazing sight of Toraja
Land. A few minutes from Rantepao, artisans at Kete Kusu, a model
Toraja settlement, produce bamboo carvings and other traditional
handicrafts. The village itself has several well-maintained "tongkonan"
houses and rice barns. The Toraja way of life is interesting, the
way of death is a fascinating mix of ritual custom and spectacle.
For the Toraja, the dead are as much a part of society as the living.
At Lemo, cliffs rise precipitously from the ricefields like stonework
condominiums. Crypts carved with prodigious manual labor high into
the solid rock house the mortal remains of Toraja nobility. At Londa,
a network of coffin-filled caves reaches deep into the limestone
hills. While the valley between Rantepao and Makale provides a glimpse
of Toraja life, the real Toraja lies in the surrounding mountains,
accessible only on foot. Toraja village life in charming mountain
hamlets. (B/L/D- daily)
