extraordinary journey to Minangkabau land and among the Mentawais people. - We loved our stay in Sumatra, perfectly organized and planned by our guides. - 5 days in Minangkabau land between tradition and culture with the visit of palaces and traditional houses, the discovery of the Arau valley and the paku Jawi. - 5 days immersed in the Mentawais in the jungle of the island of Siberut: An authentic experience out of time allowing to share the way of life of the "flower men", between shamanism and life close to nature... An extraordinary life experience accompanied by a guide well integrated with the Mentawais!!! We highly recommend this trip. It was great.

10 Days to explore Minangkabau Land + Mentawai Island - It was so much fun to know the immersion of Minangkaba Land and Mentawai. The trip started in Padang, we spent 5 days trip to explore the land to see various about the culture and nature. The trip was well-organized, especially about the trekking in Harau and the amazing event called "Pacu Jawi". Then, we continue our trip to Mentawai Island for 5 days, it was an unforgetable experiences we had. Hope come back again to this place.
