#hikingtime The only way to go to this village is by hiking. If you happen to visit Labuan Bajo, spending your time for hiking to this village is worthy. The name of this village is Waerebo. If you want to feel hassle free, you should probably book a local tour to the trekking point by a car and they will arrange everything we need. The hiking is not hard so I think everybody can do this. If you have strong guts to get here by yourself, you could rent a motorbike or a car from the city Labuan Bajo. I suggest you to have accompany at least one mate just for cautious in case you need a rest so you can switch drive with your travel mate. The trip will take around 3 hours, could be more depending on your speed. It is better to buy some snack just in case you need energy to drive. The moment you start hiking, this will take about an hour way to the village. You need to prepare cold clothing as you will stay a night at the traditional village house which is so authentic like you could never see them anywhere else! You will also be served with its best local coffee during your breakfast time. If you are a coffee lover, i guarantee you will like it! As you will not be able to connect your phone with internet, means you will have no connection up there, it is the best time to detox yourself from online living life and start to vibing with locals. They are all nice people and welcome you warmly! 🤗 I love it very much there since I arrived 😍 📍Waerebo Village, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia #100waysoftravel #indonesia #mountain

The traditional village of Wae Rebo, in Flores - Indonesia 🇮🇩 Last week, I had the opportunity to take a short trip to Indonesia. I was fortunate to visit #waerebo, a small village at 1,200 metres above sea level. Getting there is a little adventure (an hour’s flight from Bali, a five-hour drive from #labuanbajo airport and around 2.5 hours hiking to the top), but it is worth the effort. The Manggarai ethnic group still live in those traditional huts, mostly disconnected from the outside world. They have little solar panels that provide energy only for 4 hours per day, rainwater is collected daily, and there is also a small creek nearby. Most of the food consumed in the village comes from the many chickens walking around (and their eggs) and the vegetables cultivated in the gardens around the village. The village was built over 100 years ago, but it went through a few historical restorations to keep the huts in liveable and safe conditions. The village consists of those seven houses (huts) that have been passed on to their families for 23 generations. There are also some coffee bean plantations around that are harvested seasonally. Tourists can taste the famous robusta Wae Rebo coffee at breakfast or buy some roasted beans to take home. Staying overnight, you can share a meal with the locals, listen to their traditional music and sleep in one of the huts. It’s not the most comfortable sleep you can have, but it’s one of the most interesting. I loved everything: the peace and quiet, the genuine and welcoming smiles, the location and the stars are night when everything around you is totally black.

I went to a village in the Indonesian islands of Nusa Tenggara where the tradition of waerebo remains. This village is considered one of Indonesia's most beautiful tourist destinations, with rows of triangular roofs and beautiful green nature in the background, creating a truly spectacular view. In the village, I ate a village meal and stared blankly at the people who live there. There are many tourists, so our presence is taken for granted, and I was able to see the people living their normal lives, such as women making coffee and men preparing for festivals. It takes about two hours to climb the mountain path to the village. It was harder than I expected and I almost gave up, but I managed to get there. I think it was a good experience, including the journey. It was tough, but it was a place I want to go back to. #architectureandculture #indonesiatrip #indonesia #traditionalculture #trip #100travelstyles
