Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara not only has beautiful beaches and underwater beauty, but also very rare natural mountain wonders. Mount Kelimutu stands as one of the proud icons of Indonesian tourism in the eyes of the world.
Hello Traveler friends at ZOYALINK! Mount Kelimutu is at an altitude of around 1,639 meters above sea level. This place is famous throughout the earth because of its three crater lakes which have different colors and can change over time.
The three lakes have their own local names, namely Tiwu Ata Polo, Tiwu Nua Muri Koo Fai, and Tiwu Ata Bupu. The change in color of the lake water is caused by chemical reactions of minerals, volcanic gas content, and exposure to sunlight in the crater.
The experience of visiting Kelimutu feels most perfect when welcoming dawn from the top of the viewing platform. Gradually, the morning sunlight will part the fog and reveal dramatic differences in the colors of the three lakes before your eyes.
Access to the peak of Kelimutu is very organized and easy to traverse. Visitors only need to take a leisurely walk up the stone stairs from the parking area, so this location is very friendly for all family members of various ages to visit.
Apart from its geological wonders, local people also adhere to the traditional belief that this lake is a place where ancestral spirits reside. Spiritual values and natural beauty combine harmoniously to create a very serene atmosphere.
Seeing directly the three-colored lake phenomenon on Mount Kelimutu is a very valuable life experience. This place shows how magical the natural landscape of the archipelago is.
