FLORES, KOMODO AND SUMBA ISLAND
FLORES
Situated among the magnificent islands of Lesser Sunda (Nusa Tenggara), Flores offers almost anything you want see: Unique cultures at traditional megalithic villages, Mt. Kelimutu volcano with its unique three colours lake, wildlife and marine life.
The most magnificent site is the three colored lakes of Kelimutu volcano. Each lake is a different color: The western lake, Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People) is commonly blue. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched, or Enchanted Lake), which share a common crater wall, are commonly green- and red-colored, respectively, although lake colors vary periodically.
The scenic lakes are a popular tourist destination and have been the source of minor phreatic eruptions in historical time.

KOMODO
Komodo National Park lies in the Wallacea Region of Indonesia, identified by WWF and Conservation International as a global conservation priority area.  The Park is located between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores.
Komodo National Park was established in 1980 and was declared a World Heritage Site and a Man and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1986.  The park was initially established to conserve the  unique Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), first discovered by the scientific world in 1911 by  J.K.H. Van Steyn.
They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution. The rugged hillsides of dry savannah and pockets of thorny green vegetation contrast starkly with the brilliant white sandy beaches and the blue waters surging over coral

SUMBA
Sumba is an island in Indonesia, and is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands.
Sumba is one of the few places in the world in which megalithic burials, are still used as a 'living tradition' to inter prominent individuals when they die. Burial in megaliths is a practice that has survived to this day in Sumba.
Of the island's population of 425,000, half maintains its belief in the animistic Merapu religion. Rural life still revolves around the ancestral village. Such villages tend to stand on hilltops and are formed by several large clan houses arranged around a central graveyard.
The east of Sumba supports barely a third of the island's population but has the most richly developed hand woven "ikat” textile
The motifs in a cloth may be geometric, zoomorphic, floral, trade-inspired or ethnographic. Even though many Sumbanese are now Christian, the way of the Merapu ancestral spirits continues to be vividly expressed in the symbols of birth, on-going life, death, and reincarnation woven into the island's textiles.
