Green Jewel Flores & the Komodo Dragon Islands in Indonesia
Flores is a hidden green jewel of the Indonesian archipelago, still largely untouched by mass tourism. The island captivates visitors with its unspoiled landscapes, breathtaking natural beauty, and the warmth and hospitality of its people. Although the majority of the population is Catholic, traditional beliefs, ancestral spirits, and local rituals continue to play an important role in everyday life.
Flores is home to remarkable natural wonders, including the mystical Kelimutu volcano with its famous tri-colored crater lakes, dense tropical rainforests, lush rice terraces, pristine sandy beaches, and traditional villages renowned for their unique culture and architecture. In the west, Flores borders the islands of Rinca and Komodo, home to the legendary Komodo dragon the world’s largest living lizard and a fascinating relic of prehistoric times.
