Day 2: Rumah Budaya Sumba - Village of Ratenggaro - Watumalandong - Tanjung Mareha - Bwanna Beach 

• After a hearty breakfast (included) at the hotel, the day starts with a visit to the 'Rumah Budaya Sumba Museum', Sumba's cultural centre. The museum is built in the style of a traditional Sumbanese house and stands in the middle of a terrain littered with Marapu stone carvings. Marapu represents the traditional animist religion on Sumba, which finds expression not least in the local stonemasonry. Among other artefacts, the collection includes ikat, stone carvings and wood carvings, traditional jewellery and a handful of everyday items that you can find here. Feel free to take in this unique culture in all its glory for a while.
• Afterwards, we continue to the village of Ratenggaro in the Kodi region. Here you can admire the traditional houses with their typical high roofs, all made by hand and in the traditional way. In fact, you will see the highest roofs in Sumba. Ratenggaro is the only one of the few traditional villages in the area, and although the village consists of only a few houses, each house can accommodate up to 50 family members. Interestingly, during harvest time, most villagers stay in their fields, leaving only the elders and children in the village.
• Next, your journey takes you to Watulandong and Bwanna Beach. Here you will go to a viewpoint from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of both beaches. As you descend to each beach, you will have the opportunity to capture the different vantage points with your camera. Enjoy the day on one of the two quiet beaches until sunset.
• Lunch in the form of a box lunch (included) in between.
• Before heading back to the hotel, there is an opportunity to have dinner at a local restaurant (not included).
• Overnight at Ella Hotel (or similar) Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version).

Day 3: Waikelo Sawah - Praijing Village - Lapopu Waterfall - Waigali & Praigoli Village

• After breakfast (included), you will head to the West Sumba region.
• On the way, you will stop at Waikelo Sawah, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding rice fields and also take a look at the nearby water cave.
• Your journey will then take you to Praijing village, a traditional village surrounded by greenery uphill. It is one of the few villages from which you have a nice overview of the whole village and can get a good idea of how village life is organised there. Take some time to walk around this traditional place. You will mostly meet the village elders who, together with the children, are the central protagonists of the settlement by day, and they will be happy to share their smiles with you. You may also have some sweets with you to share.
• Your next destination is the Lapopu Waterfall. After a drive through the seemingly endless hilly and green landscape of Sumba, you will stop near the waterfall. To visit it, you will have to take a short hike of about 15 minutes and cross a bamboo bridge. Keine Angst; sie wird Euch tragen ;-)
• Once there, you'll have a wonderful view of the scenery ahead. Take a seat and let your thoughts drift away as you watch the water make its way down the mountain. Time for inspiration and daydreams...
• And it's time for lunch again (included).
• Afterwards you will visit another village in West Sumba, the village of Praigoli, to see the Kajiwa Stone and the Pasola Field.
• Not far from Praigoli village, you will then also visit Waigali village, which is located on a hilltop with truly spectacular views. Here you can see the Andung, the Scull Tree.
