Photographs from Belaraghi and Bena traditional villages located in Flores, Indonesia, next to the Inierie volcano. ๐ธ๐
Inierie is a stratovolcano located in the south-central part of the island of Flores, Indonesia, overlooking the Savu Sea. ๐๏ธ
It is the highest volcano on the island. The volcano looms over the little town of Bajawa and its upper slopes are bare without any vegetation. ๐๐ฟ
Indonesians call these villages with a term "Kampung Adat", which translates to "traditional village" in English. That signifies the commitment to preserve indigenous cultural heritage and traditional way of life. ๐บ
In these villages, you will find traditional houses built with local materials, showcasing the distinct architectural style of the region.
For two transformative weeks, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the vibrant life of Kampung Adat Bena and Kampung Adat Belaraghi, living with a welcoming local family and fully participating in their daily activities.
I was embraced as one of their own, sleeping on the humble floor of their traditional house. ๐ค๐ก
One of the highlights of my journey was embarking on a challenging hike up Mount Inerie. It took about 3.5 hours, and with the guidance of a local man, I conquered it, albeit with the mishap of tearing my pants along the way. Upon reaching the summit, I was greeted by a dense fog that obscured the entire view. ๐
Nevertheless, like almost always, it is all about the journey, not the destination. โ๏ธ
