Mount Kelimutu is among the smallest national parks located in the stretch between Bali and the Nusa Tenggara islands, yet it houses some of the most spectacular wonders. It is blessed with an amazing sunrise views over three magical lakes that change colors over time. They sharing the same name, Kelimutu, meaning ‘the boiling lake’, believed to be the resting place of departed souls, and they change colors every now and then. For Kelimutu Sunrise Tour, you can choose to arrive either in Maumere which is about 4 hours from Kelimutu, or Ende that’s much closer, about 1,5 hours. This might depend on your destinations before & after the tour. The trekking to the top to see the sunrise is relatively easy so almost all visitors from different ages can do it. Let us know what colors you see up there!

DAY 2:KELIMUTU SUNRISE TOUR - MAUMERE/ENDE       ▼

Today we will get up early to be able to see sunrise on top of the Kelimutu. The Kelimutu is a large volcano, which we can access practically by car, until the last 20 minutes, which will be only possible by walking in the field. When reaching the top, we can see 3 craters, which have become three lakes, of different colors. One black, one yellow and one a little purple, but the great thing is that they change color, especially in the moments of dawn! Take a coat, because sometimes it gets cold during when we expect the sunrise.

After admiring this natural wonder, we return to Maumere/Ende. On the way you will experience the dramatic change in the pattern of nature and ethnicity. You can be in the middle of the ethnic Lio – pay attention to the call to their villages Jopu – Ranggase and try to understand the daily life of the locals or have a closer look at their work of architecture.
