Indonesia Travel Bucket List Sulawesi 2 : Londa, Explore the uniqueness of Toraja Typical Graves

Londa’s attractions are in Sandan Uai Village, Sanggalangi District, North Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi Province. From Makassar City, it is around 8-9 hours away by bus to the district that blooms from Tana Toraja.

Londa is one of the attractions in Toraja. Londa itself is a tourist attraction where the cave tomb is located on a hill, inside it also contains coffins, bones and skulls of bodies that are hundreds of years old. Arriving at the location faced with a row of wooden statues known as Tau - Tau.

Tau - Tau is a statue of a body buried in the location of the Londa tourist attraction. There are coffins (erong) which are emptied by wood as a barrier so that the crates can be on the hill wall. The higher the position or position of the chest the higher the position of the person in the community.

Moving on from the Tau-Tau and Erong area, we try to enter Goa and see what the contents are like, but first I try to give information about the depth of the cave itself estimated at 900 to 1000 meters and the height of places in some parts of the cave only around 1 meter. This makes us sidikit bent when walking along the depths of the cave.

How do I become a Local Guides to promote Indonesian tourism (Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories : Local Guides X Indonesian Ministry Of Tourism)

The name of the program is “SUSUR NUSANTARA” has a special agenda to revitalize the existence of tourist spots in Indonesia that are less exposed on social media. The West Side’s fame on social media is far less than the East side’s fame, where hashtags with locations in Bali, NTB, Sulawesi and Papua are always crowded with posts by local and international netizens.

I along with the team explored 8 destinations that are rarely exposed in Indonesia. I was officially invited to collaborate because I am a co-founder of Indonesia’s largest media on Instagram, @ExploreIndonesia, and also I am an alumni of the 2017 Local Guides Summit who are very active in helping local tourism in my residential areas, Sidoarjo and Surabaya.

Not only that, my job there is to photograph the beauty of the natural, cultural and regional heritage there. But it also helps to update the location with updated points of tourist attractions on Google Maps with the Local Guides program and Street View Trusted Photographer so that it will get maximum results.

My goal for sharing this story is to show my experience when traveling to unique places in Indonesia. And also helps provide insight to other global Local Guides friends. So, I will write my stories through the title “Indonesia Travel Bucket List Stories”.

Hopefully, one day, officially, @ExploreIndonesia and the Google Local Guides program also Google Maps can collaborate in Indonesia.
