Warisan Flores

Flores Island (Cabo das Flores), originally known as Nusa Nipa, is one of the three major islands in East Nusa Tenggara Province, alongside Timor and Sumba. The island stretches from Labuan Bajo in the west to Larantuka in the east, and is home to eight administrative regions: West Manggarai, Manggarai, East Manggarai, Ngada, Nagekeo, Ende, Sikka, and East Flores.

The landscape of Flores is not only dominated by savannahs with Lontar palm trees gazing out to sea, but also by lush highlands that produce some of Indonesia’s finest coffee and a wide range of other agricultural products. Waterfalls cascade down its mountain slopes, while verdant rice paddies sprawl across its valleys.

The people of Flores are made up of diverse ethnic groups and tribes, giving rise to a rich tapestry of traditions and cultures—expressed in their way of life, dances, ceremonies, weaving heritage, and unique architectural styles. In some areas, traditional villages from the past still stand proudly, with distinctive houses steeped in philosophy and symbolism.

Experience The Great Flores Way is a journey spanning hundreds of kilometers—from Labuan Bajo to Larantuka, or vice versa. It offers not just the chance to enjoy the island’s breathtaking nature and cultural richness, but also to celebrate meaningful encounters with its people. With Warisan Flores Indonesia, you’ll discover the heart of Flores through a journey full of depth and purpose.
