We took scooters for about 20 mins to get to the base of the mountain and hiked a few kilometres up to the traditional Wae Rebo Village. The hike was steep and hot but evened out a little bit more about half way. It was well worth the sight upon arrival where we met with the chief of the village and then were free to explore. The boys played volleyball with the local men and we stayed in the visitor hut with about 25 people from all over the world.

In Ruteng I stayed in Cha Cha dorm guesthouse, a real highlight. They have an amazing restaurant too and it is really worth visiting them. They can organize a shared car with local people, rp to Denge, to Blasius Guesthouse. There also are trucks, but I have the feeling it would take much longer. I arrived quite late to Blasius so I spent the night there for a room with cold shower, like a losmen. Blasius and his family are also really lovely. From Blasius you can walk 3km or take the motorbike taxi. I recommend the last as it really is a lot to walk was really worth it. They sell their own coffee and crafts, I also recommend buying from them as it is clearly made by them. For my way back I again stayed at Blasius, who organized a shared car rp to take me to the Transflores highway.

Takes quite some effort to get there from Labuan Bajo, with a long, very bumpy ride on the road, a scooter taxi ride from Denge, then a 5 kilometres mostly uphill hike in the forest. When you arrive there you are rewarded with a stunning view of seven, traditional houses. The people in the village welcome you with a little introduction which then you can follow with a little walk around in the village. This whole thing of exploration doesnât take more than an hour and half even if you look into the tiniest details. I bet most people would be over it within half an hour. But until this point I actually really enjoyed the itâs supposedly an overnight program. And thatâs where the challenge starts. I still have no idea what can one do there for 16-18 hours even with sleep and two meals involved. Particularly that the night isnât exactly convenient. All guests sleep in one of the big traditional houses, in an open hall, with about 25-30 mattresses around. There isnât much bedding just a straw-mattress and a dirty blanket used by who knows how many people before. You have no option but to use it because the night is very cold and there are hundreds of mosquitoes flying recommendation is that only stay there for overnight if you are really keen to have this box ticked on your bucket list. There is literally nothing else there than just an inconvenient sleep and a light breakfast. By all mean, visit the village, itâs beautiful.

From there you must take ojek motorcycle to reach the hiking start point, continue with a 3-hour hike on foot. The hiking path started with smooth pavement for the 1st hour and soil & stones for the next 2 hours. Make sure you are physically fit before you commit to going here because there's nothing else you can find if you decided not to hike. Don't forget to rent a bamboo stick. It's your life saviour for the the village, you will stay in a shared house that can fit 30 people. Mats tikar, blankets, and pillows are provided. The bathroom is very modest and the water is cold.

Read our transparency report to learn 2020Certainly interesting to visit people nominally living a traditional lifestyle, far enough removed from modernity to be refreshing. But that's the operative word - nominally. Despite being off any mobile network for the time being, anyway, locals walking downhill while we were clambering uphill had a mobile phone in their pocket, blasting music. Ah well. Speaking of uphill it's a 450 m vertical ascent and yes, at least a 2-hour hike from the vehicle parking area to the village - don't be misled by locals who don't know a meter from a hole in the ground, and who'll tell you it's only km. It's a hot, sweaty ascent - amazing that the locals shoulder and carry 50-100 kg loads of cinnamon down this trail. There is one stream crossing the trail on the way up to the pass to stop momentarily to cool down, and then 3 more on the downhill leg. Once arriving in the village, you'll be expected to pay 50,000 Rp for a traditional "ceremony" and then 200,000 Rp per person for the visit, which does include lunch. An overnight stay is 325,000 Rp per person, I assume meals included we were day visitors. Overall, well worthwhile, if you can communicate with the locals. I assume the best time to visit would be weekends, when the kids who are during the week away from the village at school return 13 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Anyway now it is becoming tourist attraction and it is very close to tourist trap. In one hand you are amazed by the views, architecture and local way of living, in the other hand first impression is "we want your money". I understand that we need to support and pay for service but it is obvious that after that bad road, 4h drive from Labuan and 3h hiking in jungle we not gonna escape after invitation. Situation is like that arriving to village, you are invited to the house exhausted after hiking, a man is asking you for 50k straight away for ceremony, a man sitting in the middle is saying that you are very welcome and now you bacame to Wae Rebo. I don't think it's OK.

Those of you who have been to Flores or any similar remote tribal island, may argue what does it even mean the last traditional Manggarai village? In a region where most settlements consist of 20 bamboo huts, 100 people and 50 buffaloes, where the population mixes simplified Christianity with animism, where the most famous dance form is actually a martial art using a whip as a weapon, how can it get more authentic? Well, it can. The bamboo huts, for example, have replaced the traditional Manggarai conical houses, mbaru niang. Animist rituals and caci, the whip dance, can still be seen, but you would have to be lucky to find them. Caci is sometimes staged for tourists, but it is not the same one. In Wae Rebo, on the other hand, mbaru niang dominates the central square, and Penti ceremony, a full-scale spirit worship festival, is held annually in November. A caci tournament is part of the festival. After all, there must be a reason this village in Flores received the Top Award of Excellence from UNESCO in 2012.© Mark LevitinUp in the cloudsWae Rebo occupies a strategic position near the summit of a tall hill, at 1100 m asl. After slogging all the way up there on a stony path, you will probably call it a mountain. Up until now, there is no way to reach the village other than hiking. The reason for such placement may have been defensive, but nowadays it means great views and morning mists, which are actually low clouds stuck at this natural obstacle before evaporating. Most common houses and agricultural plots spread on the slopes above the cluster of mbaru niang, and the panoramic vistas at sunrise or sunset will keep a photographer busy for quite a while. It is, of course, a good idea to add extra cultural experience by arriving in time for Penti.© Mark LevitinPenti in Wae ReboEssentially a typical animist ceremony, unlike those easily seen in other tribal settlements around the globe, Penti feels special due to two factors the unique setting and the fully authentic procedure. Christianity, and the last few centuries in general, are temporarily forgotten. It starts in the morning with a large procession led by the head shaman to a sacred stone just outside the village. Rice and eggs are sacrificed in a rather elaborate ritual. Then the people return to the main square, and the rest of the day is dedicated to festivities, mainly caci. Fighters put on traditional costumes, wrap sarungs around their heads to protect the face, pick up whips and leather shields, and commence the duels. Traditionally, two types of whips are used one of the warriors brandishes the offensive variety, similar to the usual horse-riding implement, while the other â the defensive, with a longer, curved shaft and a short lash, designed to block and entangle the attacker. The tournament comes to an end in the late afternoon, when the village elders and shamans climb to the cemetery to sacrifice the chicken to the ancestors. Finally, they descend to the village square, where more chicken is slaughtered, and the divination is performed.© Mark LevitinPracticalitiesTo reach Wae Rebo, you will have to get to Ruteng first. It is a small town in West Flores, accessible by bus from Labuan Bajo, and the last place where you can get any necessary supplies. From there, things get more interesting. Once a day, if you are lucky, and with no schedule â ask around â an oto kayu passenger truck departs for the village of Denge. Sometimes the truck stops a few km short of it â you will have to hike the rest. More hiking awaits as you begin to climb up the mountain â count on 3-4 hours and expect a pretty bad trail, especially if it had been raining recently. Upon entering the village, tourists are supposed to undergo a ritual introduction to the guardian spirits and to pay for it. You can negotiate to minimize the ceremony and reduce the fee slightly, but not to zero. Wae Rebo is becoming quite famous, and the Manggarai community wants to profit from it. Otherwise, they are as friendly as you would expect Indonesians to be. Accommodation is in a homestay, which may be an ordinary hut or a traditional mbaru niang. There is no cellular signal and limited electricity. For the best views, climb to the upper houses or above them at sunrise. © Mark LevitinWae Rebo, FloresSatar Lenda, West Satar Mese, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, IndonesiaWe recommend to book your stays in East Nusa Tenggara in advance as it can get booked up quickly during certain periods.

Indonesia, which is rich in natural beauty, never seems to make us stop to be amazed. One of the portraits of Indonesiaâs natural beauty can be found in the village of Wae Rebo in West Manggarai, Flores-East Nusa Tenggara. Wae Rebo Village, which is geographically located at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, has earned it the nickname of the village above the clouds, because this area is always shrouded in a thin white fog with cool air that calms your heart and mind. Wae Rebo Village is a traditional village that is only inhabited by 112 families or around 700 people. It is said that the Wae Rebo people are descendants of the Minangkabau people who came about a thousand years ago. All residents are scattered in seven traditional houses called Mbaru Niang. In Wae Rebo only seven Mbaru Niang are allowed, not more. Mbaru Niang is a traditional Flores traditional house which is the main attraction of this village. In Manggarai language, Mbaru Niang means house because one part of the house is used to store sacred heirloom drums used to communicate with the ancestors. This traditional house is in the form of a cone built in the traditional way with a roof made of palm fiber that almost touches the ground. This cone shape symbolizes the never-ending brotherhood in Wae Rebo while in the middle there is a sturdy pillar to support the house which symbolizes Wae Rebo ancestors as its focal point. Mbaru Niang is about 15 meters high with five stories made of worok wood and bamboo with rattan to tie the construction. At the first level, it is called lutur, which means a tent that functions as a place to live and gather family. Then at the second level it is called lobo which functions as a place to store food and daily necessities. The third level is called lentar, which is used to store the seeds of plants such as corn, rice, and beans. The fourth level is called lempa rae which is used as a place to store food stocks in case of drought. Then the latter is called the hekang code which functions as a place to store offerings for offerings to the ancestors. Its unique shape and preservation have earned Mbaru Niang an award at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award 2012 in the category of Award of Excellence given to conservation buildings that are more than fifty years old. The beauty of Wae Rebo is not only limited to the Mbaru Niang building, but also the surrounding scenery. Wae Rebo is surrounded by green mountains and hills, making this village always shrouded in fog. At night, you can clearly see the Milky Way star cluster if the sky is clear. Meanwhile, in the morning, you can join in pounding coffee or weaving a cloth called cura cloth with brightly colored motifs. Coffee and songket cloth are the advantages of Wae Rebo. For those who want to come to Wae Rebo, you can take a plane from to Labuhan Bajo, from here you can take a detour through Denge village, which is the closest village to Wae Rebo by using a vehicle for eight hours. After arriving at Denge village, then you can walk to Wae Rebo for about four hours. Even though you have to do trekking for a long time, the view of rice fields, green hills, and beautiful beaches can make you fascinated so that without knowing it, you have arrived at Wae Rebo village. When you get there, you must undergo a ritual that aims to ask permission and protection from the ancestral spirits of the guests who come. Before this ritual is finished, you are not allowed to take photos or do other activities. Not only local tourists who come to Wae Rebo, but also foreign tourists from various parts of the world. According to local data, there are around 300 foreign tourists who come every year from the Netherlands, France, Australia, and many more.
