The tour package that we made has gone through a survey process and based on objects and tours that are often chosen by tourists during tour on South Sulawesi. The Torajans are an indigenous Austronesian ethnic group located in a mountainous region of Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia. Alongside their rich culture and traditions, Torajans also treasure the abundant myths about the origin of their name. Learn the history of Toraja, where its people have been shaped by the surrounding landscape and blessed with great longevity. In this land, well-preserved ancestral traditions are practiced within the peaceful communal society. Recently introduced ideas, such as Christianity, synchronize harmoniously with local customs, making Toraja someplace special. Witness the dramatic ceremonies, family bonds, cuisine and art of the only living megalithic culture in the modern world. Enveloped by magnificent natural landscapes, Toraja is full of life-changing experiences and is waiting to be explored.
