We will travel to the Indonesia’s biggest island, Sumatra, where we can emphasize the Gunung Leuser National Park, with its amazing orangutans. Then, we will continue our journey towards Banda Aceh, a city immersed by a tsunami in a heavy sea of mud, and finally, we will discover the Lake Toba, the true heart of Batak culture.

But the best experience was to live with the Mentawai ethnic groups known for their ornamental tattoos to present themselves nice and beautiful in the eyes of spirits. They are a people very linked to Nature, where the men devote themselves to hunting and processing the sago tree, their main source of income. A nostalgic trip to that past in which the men were wise guardians of Nature.

To end in the island of Lombok, a refuge for all travellers unable to resist the charm of its white sand and turquoise waters. One of those small paradises on Earth with which Nature has presented the fascinating and diverse Indonesian archipelago.
