This is little Bali, this still preserved island is to be discovered very quickly

Hiking and adventure enthusiasts will not be left out. Flores offers a multitude of trails through magnificent landscapes. The bravest can set off to storm Mount Kelimutu and its three lakes whose colors mysteriously change with the seasons. Waterfalls and rice fields are also waiting to be discovered.

Also a sign of its still confidential nature, the journey from Paris will be a little long: count on a trip from Denpasar, Bali airport then another 1h20 flight to land in the west of the island, in Labuan Bajo. There will finally and truly begin your journey to Flowers.
