Itinerary

Cunca Pilas Waterfall

Cunca Pilas Waterfall sits in the hills behind Labuan Bajo, surrounded by forest. It gets far fewer visitors than the better-known waterfalls. The walk in is straightforward, and there are natural pools at the bottom to swim in.

Melo Traditional Village

Melo Traditional Village is one of the best places to experience the rich culture of the Manggarai people in Flores. Located in the hills above Labuan Bajo, the village offers beautiful panoramic views and a warm welcome from the local community. Visitors can learn about traditional houses, daily life, and cultural performances such as the Caci dance, a famous whip-fighting ritual unique to Flores. It’s a meaningful stop for travelers who want to connect with local traditions and see a more authentic side of the island.

Batu Cermin

Batu Cermin, or the Mirror Stone Cave, is one of Labuan Bajo’s most unique natural attractions. Located just a short drive from town, this limestone cave is known for the way sunlight enters through a small opening and reflects off the smooth rock walls, creating a mirror-like effect inside. Visitors can explore the narrow pathways, admire the interesting rock formations, and learn about the cave’s geological history. It’s an easy and interesting stop, perfect for a quick visit while exploring Labuan Bajo.

Rangko Cave

Rangko Cave holds a clear natural pool inside a limestone cavern, about an hour from Labuan Bajo by car and boat. You can swim in the lagoon, and in the afternoon the light comes through the entrance and lights the water from above.

Amelia Hill

Amelia Hill looks out over green hills and the islands off Labuan Bajo. The walk up is short and easy, which makes it a good stop at sunrise or sunset without committing to a proper trek.
