Wae Rebo Village, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
4.5 (295 reviews) Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #5 in Flores Historic Sites
Wow - what an absolute priviledge
Our driver Stefan (+62 812 4610 7187) was fantastic - I highly recommend his services. He drove us to Manggarai via a warung for lunch and along the beach. The drive was about 5 hours long including the lunch break and we arrived in the local village and met scooters. We took scooters for about 20 mins to get to the base of the mountain and hiked a few kilometres up to the traditional Wae Rebo Village. The hike was steep and hot but evened out a little bit more about half way. It was well worth the sight upon arrival where we met with the chief of the village and then were free to explore. The boys played volleyball with the local men and we stayed in the visitor hut with about 25 people from all over the world. We had rice and eggs for dinner and a slightly different version for breakfast. The experience was amazing and by boys 14 and 11 thoroughly enjoyed the experience also.

Nice Visit
You need to take a scooter and then hike for about 1.5 to 2 hours to get to this well preserved village of Wae Rebo. The hiking path is well paved for the first half of the trail. The remainder of the trail though not paved is pleasantly manageable. Because it rained whilst we were there, we found the trail slightly slippery in certain sections with a lot of leeches. When we arrived at the village, we were escorted to meet the chief whereby a simple ceremony to welcome and bless our short stay here was performed. A brief history about the village was given in English. We spent a night in one of the traditional (adat) homes with other guests. Dormitory style with blankets and pillows provided. Please bring along some insect repellent as we were all swarmed by mosquitoes throughout the night making sleep almost impossible. According to our guide, it was his first encounter with mosquitoes so far, still good to be prepared. Dinner and breakfast of eggs and rice was provided. A good experience, worth the visit.
