Nature Field Trip Report In Toraja
Hay………….
Welcome
back to my blog. And this is my second blog, previously, I have posted my trip
about marine trip in dutungan island and paputo beach. And, now I post again
about nature field trip in toraja.
Well,
i did trip in toraja during 3 days and 2 night at 21-23 october 2019.
In
first day, as usually before going to toraja I and my friends gather in orange
building. I was so excited why because this trip in toraja which the panorama
view is so beautiful. Eventhough I ever visit toraja but, I never feel bored. we start our trip from campus or Makassar
tourism polytechnic to toraja and took around 10 hours. we have lunch in KUPA
BEACH RESTAURANT, the one of restaurants in barru and we continue the trip and
we enjoy erotic mountain in bonto kabobbo in enrekang by coffee break. Along
the way I enjoy the view and also see how beautiful ricefield is where I never
see anyway. I am from wakatobi, an island in southeast Sulawesi which there is
no ricefield, so I was so excited when I see that along the way to toraja. And
during on bus, we just guiding, singing together and dancing happily. We
arrived in toraja and check in indra hotel arround 06.30 p.m and then we
prepare to have dinner shortly in ayam penyet ria restaurant in toraja.
In
second day, that was our experience begin. We started trekking at 07.00 a.m. we trekking with visiting traditional house of toraja (tongkonan), animals of
toraja (tedong), and we saw rituals of toraja, baby grave, etc. all day we only
tracked. Eventhough it was so tired but I and my friends really enjoyed hat. after did soft trekking we had lunch in mentori tiku restaurant. and then we continue trekking. I
like trekking because I can see directly ricefield and also take a walk in
ricefield. i always dream when I was little to go to ricefield as I saw in
television. Even when I was little i always painted the ricefield when the
my teacher asked me to paint. So I was excited when I was in ricefield. beside
that , we visit erong Lombok parinding which there are many erong (wooden
grave). To get erong Lombok parinding we take a walk so far, I was so tired but
after getting erong Lombok parinding feeling tired lost. I was interested the
place which I can see wooden grave that It is different from common grave. And the
place which interesting is baby grave. I was curious about this because that it
the grave of baby under 6 month, toraja people think that the baby under 6
month is holy so that’s why baby grave is different from the others. after trekking all day we come back to hotel and prepare to have dinner in aras cafe the best cafe in toraja.
In
third day, before coming back to Makassar we had breakfast in indra hotel and
then leaving hotel at 07.00 a.m. before leaving toraja we visit in lakipadada
statue who one of heroes of toraja and we visit store of coffee toraja, there we
learn about coffee of toraja which has good and different taste from other. And
then we headed bonto kabobo to enjoy erotic mountain and continue to teras
empang to have lunch in parepare and then have dinner in suka-suka restaurant
in maros.
During
trip I got many lessons and of course many experiences which I never got
anyway. I was so excited did trip because this is a good opportunity for me to
be able to go around toraja regency. enjoying the panorama natural and know
more culture in toraja. See and visit directly some of places. I am interested
about the culture and history of Indonesia, so this time for me to learn more
that. I did like in toraja is because the culture is still sustainable and one
of it is rambu solo.
The
one of places I wanna visit in toraja is buntu burake. That is the statue of
yesus. But, unfortunately I and my friends did not go there because of any
reason. The majority of the population in toraja are Christians which they
respect they god namely yesus. They think it is impolite if yesus was become
statue like that. But because for purpose
which I don’t know exactly, finally inhabitant of toraja allow to build the
statue. So that’s why it makes me curious about the statue. And the location of
the statue is so high which we can see how beautifull toraja regency is from
there.
Weel

or write in this blog. Thank you so much.
