TANA TORAJA is quite simply unique,
A cultural island, hemmed in by mountains on all sides, the Toraja prove there is life after death with their elaborate ceremonies. Take the beauty of Bali, the houses of the Bataks in Sumatra and the megalithic cultures of Sumba and you’re still not even close. Cave graves, hanging graves, tau tau (life-sized wooden effigies) of the dead and bufallo carnageevery summer; it’s macabre but mermerising. This is a world unto itself.
Tana Toraja is undoubtelly the most popular destination in Sulawesi Island.
