Take a step back in time in Bajawa, a charming hill town surrounded by an alpine landscape in the central highlands of Flores. The most popular of these is Bena, where you can get a glimpse into the homes and lives of the native people, including displays of traditional fighting and dance. For a taste of the pristine natural surroundings, visit the authentic villages, discover one of the numerous waterfalls in the area, or spend a day relaxing in the hot springs amid the forest-covered mountains. Dominating the skyline around Bajawa is the nearby Gunung Inerie, the highest volcano on Flores and a rewarding trekking opportunity that boasts breathtaking scenery from the extraordinary summit.
