After a 3-hour trek itâs the view as you hike over the hill that takes your breath away. The seven circular cone shaped Mbaru Niang houses of Wae Rebo are built in a semi circle on a flat plain in a valley. The settlement is surrounded on all sides by rolling hills set against a backdrop of taller peaks that rise up into the sky. Itâs a picturesque setting. Flores is a culturally diverse island. There are six local languages spoken on Flores. Wae Rebo is a village of the Manggarai tribe. The tribe is settled in the provinces of West Manggarai Regency, Manggarai Regency and East Manggarai Regency in the West of Flores. Within Flores the Manggarai are well known for their traditional martial art, called Caci. Demonstrations of Caci are held around the port town of Labuan Bajo and are a popular tourist attraction. Yet if you really want to experience Manggarai culture, and go on an adventure, you should visit Wae Rebo. History of the Village According to oral tradition Wae Rebo was settled 18 generations ago. An elder from the community had a vision. He led his tribe into the highlands of Flores where they settled under the protection of a friendly spirit. Construction of one of the Mbaru Nang houses, Wae Rebo. Image from In 1997 the local government took the first steps in supporting the development of Wae Rebo as a tourism destination. They invested in the construction of two Mbaru Niang houses. In 2008 s group of 15 Jakarta based architects, with support of the local government and the community, renovated the remaining Mbaru Niang houses. You can find more information about the development project for Wae Rebo here. The Main Attractions Wae Rebo is one of the most famous tourist attractions in West Flores. Wae Rebo is a lot of fun to visit and different than many of the cultural villagesâ that you can visit around Indonesia. And many countries in South East Asia⌠View of the village of Wae Rebo from above. One of the nice things about the village is just how isolated it is. Itâs a 28 km hike through thick rainforest to Denge, the nearest village. At the moment the only way you can visit is if you stay overnight. The isolation limits the number of tourists that come to Wae Rebo. It makes the trip more about the experience. During the day you can explore the valley, interact with the villagers and your travel companions or just read a book. Itâs really up to you. At night the sky is filled with stars, which makes it a great spot for night photography. And youâll get to sleep in one of the Mbaru Niang houses. Cross section of an Mbaru Nang house. Image from The Mbaru Niang houses, translated as drum houses,â are communal buildings. Built around a central pole with supporting bamboo beams and thatched roofs theyâre enormous buildings. The houses are 5 stories high and can host up to 8 families, their crops and food. Getting to Wae Rebo For the moment Wae Rebo is bit difficult to get to. Denge, the nearest village, is a 3-hour drive from Labuan Bajo. Public transport is almost non-existent. You can make the trip by truck or boat, but realistically youâll need to make the trip by car or motorbike. Then when you arrive at Denge youâll need to find a guide to take you to the village. Located in a valley surrounded by hills the setting is picturesque. Most travellers who visit the village join a group tour. The most popular package leaving from Labuan Bajo is the Wae Rebo 3 Day 2 Night Tour. Itâs done in stages. On the first day you go to Denge via the spider web rice fields of Cancar. The next day you hike to Wae Rebo where youâll spend the night. Then the third day you go back to Labuan Bajo. Final Thoughts Wae Rebo is one of the few cultural sites in Flores that really fascinates me. The unique architecture of the buildings and the beautiful setting and the fact you have to stay the night make Wae Rebo an adventure to visit. Iâd definitely recommend it if youâre a nature lover!

No mantas but lots of Komodo Dragons and heaps of huge turtles at the final snorkelling site ensured that the day ended on a high note.

Best regards, Suzana Bintang Komodo ToursWritten June 12, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor 2023This was an excellent tour! It gives you a taste of Flores in a very short amount of time for the time-constrained. We first stopped at Padar Island which honestly is a bit overcrowded at the very early stages of the morning; however, we got there at the tail end of tourists climbing down the mountain and had the mountain pretty much to ourselves. The size of our group was perfect about 15 people max whereas some tours had upwards of 40 on each boat. The pink beach, in the beginning, was a nice warm-up to the snorkeling that occupied the second half of the tour after lunch. The Komodo dragons were very fun to see, and I thought that was going to be my favorite part of the tour. But my actual favorite was getting to see giant manta rays and stunning coral later on. I highly recommend this tours for nature lovers that are short on June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
