This one tourist place is a very unique and interesting place in Tana Toraja, which is the house of the spirits where in Lemo we can see the bodies stored on the walls of steep hills.
Lemo tourism object is a combination of death, cultural and ritual customs of the Tana Toraja tribe. In Lemo there are statues made of wood called “Tao-tao”. These statues also have their own meaning, which reflects the position between those who still live and have died.
The location of Lemo tourist attraction is not far from the city of Makale, this trip to Lemo can also be used by land vehicles. In Lemo, there are also tomb holes on the hill and we can follow them, even some of the tomb holes at this side have no doors so we can see the bones of the corpse that was at Lemo.
If you visit this place we will definitely feel something full of mystery, besides the bodies that are in the holes of the hills at Lemo, there is also an old Tongkonan house and some wild trees, even though old buildings are covered with weeds and the beautiful impression of art still visible in the building.

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.
