    Great people, lovely place
    We followed our guide's advice and went to Kampung Bena and were not disappointed at all. The Kampung is close to another one (Luba) and is really worth the visit. The residents are very friendly, welcoming and willing to share a piece of their culture with foreigners. We definitely recommend our guide, Lorenzo, who's an experienced climber and great ambassador of Bajawa's traditional kampung and flora. You can contact him via WhatsApp (+6285333505160) to schedule your next visit in Bajawa.

    Bena in Low Season
    It was really quite to visit Bena in low season. We did it in early of January 2019. There was a sunny day. the village was very clean and fresh. some local women weaved textiles and small children were playing at the home page. we had a good time to see a local woman did dyeing with the natural color from plantation. In the end of visitation we have a glass of coffee for each. it was an original one.
