Lolai - To' Tombi, Negeri di atas awan — Attraction in South Sulawesi

In a region famous for its elaborate funeral ceremonies and ancient traditions, another treasure has long been cultivating its reputation in the misty highlands of Toraja: some of the world's most sought-after coffee. Toraja coffee holds an almost mythical status among coffee connoisseurs worldwide. Grown at elevations between 1,400 to 2,000 meters in the mountain ranges of South Sulawesi, these arabica beans develop a complexity of flavor that has earned them a place among the world's most prestigious coffees. The region's unique combination of volcanic soil, high altitude, and precise balance of sun and rain creates ideal growing conditions that coffee farmers elsewhere can only dream of.

The beans grown here are known for their full body, rich multidimensional flavor profile, and distinctively low acidity. Wine-like undertones mingle with dark chocolate notes, while hints of ripe fruit and spices create a cup that tells the story of these highlands in every sip.

This sweet treat, made from flour and brown sugar, offers a glimpse into traditional Torajan hospitality – where coffee is never served alone but always accompanied by a small bite of...

I visited this spot with Motul Indonesia as part of an exploration journey. Arriving early at 4 AM, I was greeted by a spectacular city view beneath the morning mist. The entrance fee is IDR 10,000 per person. Inside, you'll find many food vendors, villas, and camping areas (IDR 20,000). Sunrise begins around 5:30 AM, and there are plenty of seating spots to enjoy the view.

One suggestion for the management team: consider adding safety railings—even if they're low—to help prevent any accidents. Parking space is ample. Wishing continued success for the development of this...

Scenery Good, same like other person reviews.
