Indonesia's Sumatra
Sumatra
This mammoth gem of the Indonesian Archipelago, spanning 473,600sqkm (294,281sq m) in size, is a land of dynamic terrain and endless adventure. At its West, find the dramatic peaks of almost 100 volcanoes, 15 that remain active, while on the opposite side of the island lie the coastal lowlands of Sumatra’s East.
Between these breathtaking contrasts remains a lush expanse of dense forests, boasting some of Indonesia’s most intriguing biodiversity, for within this plush carpet of tropical greenery discover the world’s largest flower, Rafflesia Arnoldii, and the world’s tallest flower, Amorphophallus Titanum. It is also within these forests that such endangered species as the two-horned Sumatran rhino, the honey bear, the elephant and the Sumatran tiger still roam free. Among those fortunate enough to live within this natural paradise is a curio of native tribes, each with their own language, societal organization and intriguing culture. Sumatra is truly a land of excitement and wonder, where adventure waits around every corner and every moment promises a unique memory.
