Rest and enjoy

One of the main reasons to organize a trip to Sumatra is because it is an ideal place to rest. There are plenty of places where you can have a great time without too much stress. For example, in Danau Toba, a wonderful destination. It is a length of blue water at high altitude, in the volcanic zone of the island. In addition, from this place you can meet the Batak people, who profess the Christian religion. They will receive you with kindness, although in the past they were very warriors. Today they are used to visitors and are comfortable with them.

Observation of wildlife in the virgin forest

Another reason why it is worth organizing a trip to Sumatra. Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat is wonderful. And it is that the island has a huge number of hectares of virgin forest.

Our project is located in the Gunung Leuser National Park. Here there are many square kilometers of virgin forests. That is why it is a unique place to see wildlife.
