Waingapu Sumba, Indonesia

Day 45: Thursday, April 10, 2025


Hide Ports

One of the more undiscovered islands of Indonesia, Sumba is the adventurer’s dream where time seems to stand still. It’s a place of lagoons, wild horses, tropical forests, celestial waterfalls, soft white sand beaches and intriguing tribal culture. Life in Sumbanese villages unfolds according to the rhythms and rituals of Marapu, an animistic faith, and the guidance of local shamans. In villages outside of Waingapu, you’ll spot traditional bamboo houses with thatched roofs and megalithic tombs and gain insight on the well-preserved culture. You’re also likely to observe a handweaving technique known as ikat, which creates exotic fabrics for which the island has become known. Sumba just might be Indonesia’s best-kept secret.
