Step into a world where myth meets science. This tour takes you to two of Flores’ most iconic sites.
Witness the Living Geometry of Lingko Cara
Begin at Lingko cara . ascend to the highlands of Ruteng to behold the Lingko Cara spiderweb rice fields. Unlike any other terraces, these fields radiate in perfect circles from a central altar; a sacred design created centuries ago to ensure fair land distribution. It’s a breathtaking testament to Manggarai wisdom.
Journey to the Realm of the “Hobbit”
Next, Liang Bua, the limestone cave where Homo floresiensis; a tiny, extinct human species was discovered. Walk the echoing chambers where they lived 50,000 years ago, hunting dwarf elephants. It’s a rare chance to touch prehistory.
