The first level, called lutur or tent, are the living quarters of the extended family. The second level, called lobo, or attic, is set aside to store food and goods. The third level called lentar is to store seeds for the next harvest. The fourth level called lempa rae is reserved for food stocks in case of draught. And the fifth and top level, called hekang kode, which is held most sacred, is to place offerings for the ancestors.

The hiking path is well paved for the first half of the trail. The remainder of the trail though not paved is pleasantly manageable. Because it rained whilst we were there, we found the trail slightly slippery in certain sections with a lot of leeches. When we arrived at the village, we were escorted to meet the chief whereby a simple ceremony to welcome and bless our short stay here was performed. A brief history about the village was given in English. We spent a night in one of the traditional adat homes with other guests. Dormitory style with blankets and pillows provided. Please bring along some insect repellent as we were all swarmed by mosquitoes throughout the night making sleep almost impossible.

He drove us to Manggarai via a warung for lunch and along the beach. The drive was about 5 hours long including the lunch break and we arrived in the local village and met scooters. We took scooters for about 20 mins to get to the base of the mountain and hiked a few kilometres up to the traditional Wae Rebo Village. The hike was steep and hot but evened out a little bit more about half way. It was well worth the sight upon arrival where we met with the chief of the village and then were free to explore. The boys played volleyball with the local men and we stayed in the visitor hut with about 25 people from all over the world. We had rice and eggs for dinner and a slightly different version for breakfast.

There are western toilet, you are given a mattress and blanket to sleep with the other guests in one of this amazing "houses" ngurai. At 10pm the electricity cuts so the star gazing starts.

In Ruteng I stayed in Cha Cha dorm guesthouse, a real highlight. They have an amazing restaurant too and it is really worth visiting them. They can organize a shared car with local people, rp to Denge, to Blasius Guesthouse. There also are trucks, but I have the feeling it would take much longer. I arrived quite late to Blasius so I spent the night there for a room with cold shower, like a losmen. Blasius and his family are also really lovely. From Blasius you can walk 3km or take the motorbike taxi. I recommend the last as it really is a lot to walk was really worth it. They sell their own coffee and crafts, I also recommend buying from them as it is clearly made by them. For my way back I again stayed at Blasius, who organized a shared car rp to take me to the Transflores highway.

Read our transparency report to learn UK49 contributionsApr 2022 • SoloIt is an interesting traditional village high up in the mountains. Takes quite some effort to get there from Labuan Bajo, with a long, very bumpy ride on the road, a scooter taxi ride from Denge, then a 5 kilometres mostly uphill hike in the forest. When you arrive there you are rewarded with a stunning view of seven, traditional houses. The people in the village welcome you with a little introduction which then you can follow with a little walk around in the village. This whole thing of exploration doesn’t take more than an hour and half even if you look into the tiniest details. I bet most people would be over it within half an hour. But until this point I actually really enjoyed the it’s supposedly an overnight program. And that’s where the challenge starts. I still have no idea what can one do there for 16-18 hours even with sleep and two meals involved. Particularly that the night isn’t exactly convenient. All guests sleep in one of the big traditional houses, in an open hall, with about 25-30 mattresses around. There isn’t much bedding just a straw-mattress and a dirty blanket used by who knows how many people before. You have no option but to use it because the night is very cold and there are hundreds of mosquitoes flying recommendation is that only stay there for overnight if you are really keen to have this box ticked on your bucket list. There is literally nothing else there than just an inconvenient sleep and a light breakfast. By all mean, visit the village, it’s beautiful.

Read our transparency report to learn 2021If you come here from Labuan Bajo, you need to drive around - 4 hours through bumpy roads to get to Denge. From there you must take ojek motorcycle to reach the hiking start point, continue with a 3-hour hike on foot. The hiking path started with smooth pavement for the 1st hour and soil & stones for the next 2 hours. Make sure you are physically fit before you commit to going here because there's nothing else you can find if you decided not to hike. Don't forget to rent a bamboo stick. It's your life saviour for the the village, you will stay in a shared house that can fit 30 people. Mats tikar, blankets, and pillows are provided. The bathroom is very modest and the water is cold. They serve rice and chicken eggs as dinner and breakfast. The coffee is a must try!Written 25 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews as part of our industry-leading trust & safety standards. Read our transparency report to learn 2020Certainly interesting to visit people nominally living a traditional lifestyle, far enough removed from modernity to be refreshing. But that's the operative word - nominally. Despite being off any mobile network for the time being, anyway, locals walking downhill while we were clambering uphill had a mobile phone in their pocket, blasting music. Ah well. Speaking of uphill it's a 450 m vertical ascent and yes, at least a 2-hour hike from the vehicle parking area to the village - don't be misled by locals who don't know a meter from a hole in the ground, and who'll tell you it's only km. It's a hot, sweaty ascent - amazing that the locals shoulder and carry 50-100 kg loads of cinnamon down this trail. There is one stream crossing the trail on the way up to the pass to stop momentarily to cool down, and then 3 more on the downhill leg. Once arriving in the village, you'll be expected to pay 50,000 Rp for a traditional "ceremony" and then 200,000 Rp per person for the visit, which does include lunch. An overnight stay is 325,000 Rp per person, I assume meals included we were day visitors. Overall, well worthwhile, if you can communicate with the locals. I assume the best time to visit would be weekends, when the kids who are during the week away from the village at school return 13 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Anyway now it is becoming tourist attraction and it is very close to tourist trap. In one hand you are amazed by the views, architecture and local way of living, in the other hand first impression is "we want your money". I understand that we need to support and pay for service but it is obvious that after that bad road, 4h drive from Labuan and 3h hiking in jungle we not gonna escape after invitation. Situation is like that arriving to village, you are invited to the house exhausted after hiking, a man is asking you for 50k straight away for ceremony, a man sitting in the middle is saying that you are very welcome and now you bacame to Wae Rebo. I don't think it's OK. Or do tickets before or ask for money after and warn tourists that it's obligatory because that way as it is organized now all magic of visiting some native people experiencing heritage etc is views are great, people nice, food delicious.

Wae Rebo is a village in Flores, Indonesia. Understand[edit] A traditional village, mostly untouched by technology living in round huts that signify the unity of their village. Their English is not good so consider hiring a guide Rp 200,000 to guide you up to the village and translate. Make sure to wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees. The handshake is important here, shake hands say hi, your name and touch your chest with your right hand. During their traditional new year celebration the village of around 200 inhabitants accept 400 visitors during last celebration, November 2015 and presumably returning family members. Get in[edit] The only way to get to the village is to hike. For a fit person this hike is about 3 hours on small paths through the jungle. Bring lots of water. The path starts in Denge and is very obvious. Follow the largest trail and you will eventually end up in the village. There are numerous shortcuts but if you are unsure just stick to the main path. The first 1/3 of the hike is along a road that is under construction and not covered by trees so best start early before it gets warm. Right where construction ends there is a stream of water, upstream 20 m there is a small basin where you can cool down. To get to Denge follow the Flores highway west from Ruteng about 20 minutes and follow the sign towards Wae Rebo. The road will become progressively worse as you travel further from Ruteng. From the highway to Denge is about 2-3 hours of spectacular views and crappy roads. It is passable by car and scooter but consider being one person per scooter as the road is very bad. Google maps will find the way to "Gereja St. Petrus dan Paulus Denge" which is right below the path to Wae Rebo. There is a second way to get to Denge, following the coast from the west but the roads are even worse. It is however shorter in time if you come from/are going to Labuan Bajo. It is passable by scooter not car but expect to cross rivers without bridges, boulder fields with some semblance of road and other obstacles. 1 person per scooter is recommended. The road is mostly obvious, just follow the largest road along the coast. The path starts at and is clearly marked. There is a homestay Rp 200,000 per person include three meals 50m to the west of the start and a "lodge" further down towards the coast. Get around[edit] See[edit] The village is located at about 1200 m altitude and has a spectacular view. Stay up late and see the most clear night sky you can imagine. Do[edit] When you enter the village start by heading to the biggest hut in the middle for the mandatory welcome ceremony. And a Rp 50,000 donation for a group of 4. After this you can enter pretty much any hut and receive a warm welcome and tea/coffee. Buy[edit] Wae Rebo is known for its coffee production which you can buy here. Eat[edit] Drink[edit] Sleep[edit] Most people hike up in the morning stay a night and hike back down the following morning. Sleeping in the village costs Rp 325,000 per person and includes three meals a day. Connect[edit] There is no cellphone reception in Wae Rebo or the surrounding areas villages.

Have you ever wondered somewhere deep in the jungle and on the mountain summit, lies a community living their lives isolated from the spoils of modernization and exploitation. Tucked away in the dense tropical jungles of East Nusa Tenggara Island or more commonly known as Flores Island, there is such a place. Well, almost. Wae Rebo, is a village tucked away on top of a mountain near the town of Denge. It is easily recognizable by its distinct circular, cone shaped structure and thatched roofs, according to the Colony Roofers website. The traditional village is home to about 50 Manggaraian people, still living their normal lives since its first founding a century ago. Wae Rebo is one of the many villages of the Manggaraian people but it is the only one left that is built in the traditional cone shaped Mbraru Niang style. Wae Rebo Traditional Village This small village situated 1,100 meters above sea level where the air is fresh and cool. The picturesque village is completely surrounded by tropical vegetation and dense jungles. One of the more unique sounds you can hear here are the chirping of many types of songbirds. If you are into this kind of unique adventure, then read on. Getting There Getting to Wae Rebo village is no easy task. The first thing you need to know is that the only way to get there, is to hike. The hike starts from the base town of Denge. Since this is a village that is above the clouds, the hike takes about 3 hours and you do require a good deal of stamina to pull this off. Wae Rebo Lodge, Denge Denge is a 5-hour drive away from Labuan Bajo or a 3-hour drive if you are coming from Ruteng. It is a small town also occupied by the humble Maggaraian people. If you want to reach Wae Rebo without missing daylight, I would suggest staying for a night in Denge and start hiking in the early mornings. We stayed at a homestay called Wae Rebo Lodge. They offered us a room and some food. The lodge is strategically placed with views of ricefields and mountains. Just a few minutes walk, you can reach the beach with the sound of the ocean. Staying a night here, allows you to get some fresh air and clean up from the long journey you took to get here. The hiking trail The hiking route to Wae Rebo is easy to recognise. Just follow the route slowly and you will get to Wae Rebo eventually. As you begin your trek, you will be approached by some people on motorcycles offering you a ride for a fee. They said they could get us up to the village on their bikes. A few of the other people got on the bikes with the right gears from this store and off they went. Unfortunately, I turned them down because my Asian instincts raised a few flags but Fann got annoyed at me for refusing these gentlemen’s generous offer. We continued our hike with an angry Fann. We took our sweet time slowly hiking up the mountain. Panting and panting. After a 15 minute hike, we reached a bridge and here we saw the same group of bikers again. The few who paid them now had to get off the bike. The bikers signalled that this is the furthest they could go and then rode off after getting their money. I was relieved I didn’t accept their “too good to be true” offer. Fann then realised the scam and I saw her happy face again. We continued our hike up the village slowly and steadily. We were lucky to have a local guide to lead the way. He helped me to carry my drone and that eased the hike for me. After about 3 hours, we finally saw the hut that welcomes you with a banner that says “Welcome to Wae Rebo”. At the hut, you will see the coned shaped houses and this is when we got extremely excited. Reaching The Village View from the hut Once you reach the “Welcome to Wae Rebo” hut, you have to ring the bamboo bell. After signalling the bell, you have to wait for a response. The villagers will ring back and only if they ring back are you allowed to head down to the village. After that, you need to head to the largest coned shape house and pay a visit to the village chief. Here, the chief will do some prayers to ask the spirits to keep us safe during our stay here and our journey out. After that, you can head out and admire the amazing village. The village chief Food We stayed in one of the cone shaped houses that was catered for tourists. Staying here which I highly recommend costs 325,000IDR. This includes a sleeping mat, a pillow and a blanket. They also offer dinner, breakfast and of course their famous coffee. The common area was in the center and where we had our meals. We all sat around and shared the simple but delicious food that was offered by the villagers. We were allowed to roam around the village. We visited some of the houses and had a good look at how these people lived their lives here. Every house has 8 rooms that houses a different household. They share the common area in the center. Each of the houses has 5 levels and each level is used as a storage for different things as you can see in this image above. The people of Wae Rebo are farmers and they are famous for harvesting coffee beans like Arabica and Robusta. One of the other popular things they grow are cinnamon. That’s where we met an old man who was proudly showing us his cinnamon harvest. As the day gets later by the hour, clouds will slowly move in. That’s where Wae Rebo gets its most amazing picturesque look. We enjoyed our stay in Wae Rebo and we definitely hope that everyone would too. It would be great to visit this place as soon as you can. With the fast development of tourism in Indonesia, in a short few years, once a road is paved and hiking time is cut short to half. Who knows what would happen to the authentic and beautiful Wae Rebo village. Tips Bring tons of water when you are hiking up to Wae Rebo village. The 3 hour hike may be worth every effort but getting there safe and hydrated is most crucial. Respect the village rules and the village good hiking shoes and bring a spare.
