Medan (INDONESIA)
Living on the edge. That’s the appeal of diving the walled reefs of Bunaken. It’s the essence of Northern Sulawesi, perched aside the Pacific Ocean’s great volcanic arc, the ‘Ring of Fire’. Besides diving, there’s flowered gardens, peaceful hillside sanctuaries, steaming volcanoes and even fiery deep-fried forest rat. The Minahasan Highlands are an unsung lifestyle mecca – learn of the unique Minahasan Houses, and tour the colourful markets. Visit the Watu Pinawetengan, a megalithic stone covered with mysterious drawings and scripts. Find the Waruga from Airmadidi village, 144 beautiful ancient stone graves dating back to Megalithic times. Visit Lake Linow, whose colour changes dramatically from red, to blue to green.
