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.

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.

In Ruteng I stayed in Cha Cha dorm guesthouse, a real highlight. They have an amazing restaurant too and it is really worth visiting them. They can organize a shared car with local people, rp to Denge, to Blasius Guesthouse. There also are trucks, but I have the feeling it would take much longer. I arrived quite late to Blasius so I spent the night there for a room with cold shower, like a losmen. Blasius and his family are also really lovely. From Blasius you can walk 3km or take the motorbike taxi. I recommend the last as it really is a lot to walk was really worth it. They sell their own coffee and crafts, I also recommend buying from them as it is clearly made by them. For my way back I again stayed at Blasius, who organized a shared car rp to take me to the Transflores highway.

Read our transparency report to learn UK49 contributionsApr 2022 • SoloIt is an interesting traditional village high up in the mountains. Takes quite some effort to get there from Labuan Bajo, with a long, very bumpy ride on the road, a scooter taxi ride from Denge, then a 5 kilometres mostly uphill hike in the forest. When you arrive there you are rewarded with a stunning view of seven, traditional houses. The people in the village welcome you with a little introduction which then you can follow with a little walk around in the village. This whole thing of exploration doesn’t take more than an hour and half even if you look into the tiniest details. I bet most people would be over it within half an hour. But until this point I actually really enjoyed the it’s supposedly an overnight program. And that’s where the challenge starts. I still have no idea what can one do there for 16-18 hours even with sleep and two meals involved. Particularly that the night isn’t exactly convenient. All guests sleep in one of the big traditional houses, in an open hall, with about 25-30 mattresses around. There isn’t much bedding just a straw-mattress and a dirty blanket used by who knows how many people before. You have no option but to use it because the night is very cold and there are hundreds of mosquitoes flying recommendation is that only stay there for overnight if you are really keen to have this box ticked on your bucket list. There is literally nothing else there than just an inconvenient sleep and a light breakfast. By all mean, visit the village, it’s beautiful.

Read our transparency report to learn 2021If you come here from Labuan Bajo, you need to drive around - 4 hours through bumpy roads to get to Denge. From there you must take ojek motorcycle to reach the hiking start point, continue with a 3-hour hike on foot. The hiking path started with smooth pavement for the 1st hour and soil & stones for the next 2 hours. Make sure you are physically fit before you commit to going here because there's nothing else you can find if you decided not to hike. Don't forget to rent a bamboo stick. It's your life saviour for the the village, you will stay in a shared house that can fit 30 people. Mats tikar, blankets, and pillows are provided. The bathroom is very modest and the water is cold. They serve rice and chicken eggs as dinner and breakfast. The coffee is a must try!Written 25 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews as part of our industry-leading trust & safety standards. Read our transparency report to learn 2020Certainly interesting to visit people nominally living a traditional lifestyle, far enough removed from modernity to be refreshing. But that's the operative word - nominally. Despite being off any mobile network for the time being, anyway, locals walking downhill while we were clambering uphill had a mobile phone in their pocket, blasting music. Ah well. Speaking of uphill it's a 450 m vertical ascent and yes, at least a 2-hour hike from the vehicle parking area to the village - don't be misled by locals who don't know a meter from a hole in the ground, and who'll tell you it's only km. It's a hot, sweaty ascent - amazing that the locals shoulder and carry 50-100 kg loads of cinnamon down this trail. There is one stream crossing the trail on the way up to the pass to stop momentarily to cool down, and then 3 more on the downhill leg. Once arriving in the village, you'll be expected to pay 50,000 Rp for a traditional "ceremony" and then 200,000 Rp per person for the visit, which does include lunch. An overnight stay is 325,000 Rp per person, I assume meals included we were day visitors. Overall, well worthwhile, if you can communicate with the locals. I assume the best time to visit would be weekends, when the kids who are during the week away from the village at school return 13 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Anyway now it is becoming tourist attraction and it is very close to tourist trap. In one hand you are amazed by the views, architecture and local way of living, in the other hand first impression is "we want your money". I understand that we need to support and pay for service but it is obvious that after that bad road, 4h drive from Labuan and 3h hiking in jungle we not gonna escape after invitation. Situation is like that arriving to village, you are invited to the house exhausted after hiking, a man is asking you for 50k straight away for ceremony, a man sitting in the middle is saying that you are very welcome and now you bacame to Wae Rebo. I don't think it's OK. Or do tickets before or ask for money after and warn tourists that it's obligatory because that way as it is organized now all magic of visiting some native people experiencing heritage etc is views are great, people nice, food delicious.

The village is known for its tall conical shaped houses called “Mbaru Niang” and its community of friendly villagers who call this place this blog post, I will cover everything you need to know about visiting Wae Rebo Village and also share with you my experiences there – including my overnight stay in one of the traditional Mbaru Niang houses. But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Polina and I’m from grew up in Minsk, Belarus and never traveled when I was a kid, but I always dreamt of exploring the world. I only first started traveling approximately five years ago. These trips inspired me to learn new languages because I wasn’t able to communicate with local people – so I started with English and then a few years later I picked up a bit of Italian!Traveling in Indonesia for a Year and a HalfWhile I enjoyed traveling in Europe, there were other regions of the world that captured my interest too. My boyfriend and I had this dream of spending a winter in Asia. So we conjured up a plan to visit a few different countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore. In 2020 we started our trip in Indonesia but then the COVID-19 pandemic ended up getting stuck in Indonesia for a year and a half! Once we realized that we couldn’t travel internationally, we decided to spend our time exploring Indonesia as much as possible. During this time we traveled to Lombok, Surabaya, Jakarta, Mount Bromo, Ijen, Banyuwangi, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Penida, Sumba, Flores and we were living in Indonesia for such a long time, we made friends with some locals. One guy ended up inviting us to share a trip to Wae Rebo Village. It wasn’t exactly an organized tour but we did get to share the experience with a local which was pretty cool! I remember feeling this incredible calmness once we arrived at the village. It was a special place!Broken Beach, Nusa Penida © Polina panamarovapalinaExploring Indonesia © Polina panamarovapalinaPadar Island © Polina panamarovapalinaIjen Volcano Complex © Polina panamarovapalinaMount Bromo © Polina panamarovapalinaMy Experience at Wae Rebo VillageWe arrived at Wae Rebo Village in the evening. First of all, we had to go through this amazing ceremony where we were blessed to be “Waerebo People”. This event took place inside one of the traditional houses. The man who ran and performed the ceremony was the head of the a few hours in Wae Rebo, we were invited to have dinner with other travelers. We had this delicious omelet, rice and vegetable dish for dinner, and enjoyed sitting on the floor and conversing with other travelers. Once dinner was complete, we set off to explore more of the was a really peaceful space – a little bit foggy and cool. There were some animals roaming around the village like dogs and cats. We brought some treats for the kids there but based on the rules we couldn’t give them our sweets without letting their parents know or asking for the adults approved, we gave the sweets to the kids and they were all so happy! So this is my first recommendation take some gifts for the kids. They will love you for it! We stayed overnight at the village and slept in one of the traditional houses. It wasn’t possible to stay in the houses with locals, so we stayed in a house that was still traditional but only for day at 10pm all of the lights in the village are turned off and the magic begins. I don’t think I have ever seen such a beautiful night sky as I did in Wae Rebo. There were so many stars and I couldn’t stop watching and taking photos! It was a precious moment, one that I will never village gets quite cold at night, so my second recommendation is to take some warm clothes. I slept wearing sporting pants, a t-shirt, a hoodie and some warm socks. You can also take earplugs and a sleeping mask because it can be a little noisy with the other tourists sleeping next morning was awesome! I thought this would be the best time to take photos, and so we spent around an hour choosing different angles and scoping out different spots to shoot some photography. The breakfast was the same as our dinner but we also got to enjoy a cup of the way, the coffee at Wae Rebo Village is grown nearby and we got the opportunity to see how people process and roast it. You can also buy some traditionally roasted coffee here. The souvenir shop is located inside one of the tourist houses and they sell a few souvenir gifts for those Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaWae Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaWae Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaWae Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaWae Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaWae Rebo Village © Polina panamarovapalinaTips for Visiting Wae Rebo VillageBring a decent pair of hiking/walking shoes it’s quite a long and difficult hike to get to the village. It tooks us two hours to arrive and I remember that the terrain was fairly difficult, so just be prepared!There are no proper showers or toilets the shower is just a bucket with some really cold water, again just be mentally prepared for mosquito spray I recommend putting it on before you every moment visiting the Wae Rebo Village is a super unique experience.
