3,480 metres high, Mount Rantemario dominates the island and the region of Rantepao, the capital of Toraja country. Between the traditional villages and burial sites, nature has been preserved.

The volcanic soils in the far North of Sulawesi are among the most fertile in Indonesia. There are water buffalo, for sale, or for fighting… traditional funeral ceremonies, the most extravagant in Asia… the well-known Tau Tau, wooden effigies placed along cliff slopes… in these magnificent landscapes live a generous and hospitable people, proud of their unique and age-old culture.
