  • A place full of history in scenic mountains

    Unique architecture & heritage

    This small, unique and isolated village is the last one that still preserves the Manggarai traditional tall, coned-shape houses along with its custom heritage. These houses are called Mbaru Niang and are completely covered in lontar thatch from its rooftop down to the ground. In each house live six to eight families.

    Due to efforts to restore and conserve structures and buildings of the traditional mbaru niang houses, and to improve its village welfare despite any difficulties and challenges, the 2012 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation honoured Wae Rebo village an Award of Excellence as recognition of the local community and conservation of culture heritage.

    How to reach the Wae Rebo village?

    Wae Rebo is only accessible after a 4 hours trek from Denge village, this trek requires good physical strength as the way which leads you to Wae Rebo is quite extreme, and there are 3 stop stations along the past to rest. Thanks to its “complicated” access, Wae Rebo Village remains one of the most authentic and traditional villages of Flores.
