Aside from its extraordinary culture, Toraja is known for its great natural beauty: its fantastically shaped limestone mountains, lush green valleys and rivers and its never-boring terrain. The breathtaking beauty of the scenery, the friendliness of the people and the well-guarded traditions have mada Toraja one of Indonesia's star attraction and a popular destination for travellers.
