After +700 days of adventure and exploring through Indonesia, I've made it to Toraja, South Sulawesi.
In this special episode w. @traveloka I set out to explore all that Toraja has to offer, from Afterlife and cultural sights to adventure.
🇲🇨 Destination: Toraja, South Sulawesi:
In Toraja, death is seen as the soul's transition to the spirit world—a culture passed down through generations. From buffalo fights to chicken fights, I aimed to document Toraja's rich offerings, from afterlife traditions to thrilling adventures.
🚗 Driving Adventures and Cultural Insights:
From misty mountains to vibrant markets, Makale, the capital of Tana Toraja, is a city that embraces sports and exercise. I explore traditional Torajan houses in Karuaya and ancient cave burial sites in Lombok Parinding, witnessing the intricate connection between life, death, and nature.
🌊 Thrilling Rafting and Unique Experiences:
But to get a bit of adrenaline, I indulge in thrilling rafting, climb waterfalls and cliff jumping. Toraja offers an array of unique experiences, from scenic adventures to buffalo and cockfights.
👀 Behind the Scenes of Toraja's Unique Culture:
Discover the fascinating funeral rituals (Rambu Solo), the significance of buffalo sacrifices, and the cultural intricacies that make Toraja truly unique. From buffalos sacrifices to the emotional farewell, I delve into the heart of Toraja's traditions in the funeral ceremony called Rambu Solo.
