Sulawesi

Also known as Celebes, Sulawesi is one of Indonesia largest and most populated islands. Yet it is not very 'touristy', mainly thanks to its lack of modern infrastructures, Sulawesi reamains a very diverse and authentic place to visit. It is a paradise for scuba divers and snorkellers with lots of stunning spots like the Togean Islands, Bunaken, Wakatobi National Parks and Lembeh Strait. The mainland is home to a range of endemic species such as the funny tarsier, the babirusa and rare birds like the Hornbill. The best place for trekking and cultural discovery is without a doubt the Toraja country, the panoramas from mountains to ricefields are just stunning, and the people who live here frequently organise huge ceremonies and traditional funerary rites.
