Been saying this few times but I'm gonna say it again: Weekuri Lake is
one of the best. Actually, "danau" yang berbatasan dengan laut ini
adalah lagoon, dengan kombinasi air tawar dan air laut yang menghasilkan
sensasi thermocline - kadang dingin,
dan kadang hangat, serta air yang terlihat seperti air gula (foggy). Weekuri adalah salah satu spot
wajib saat mengunjungi Sumba, meski kini danau ini sudah populer, it's still so beautiful as ever!

Actually, the "lake" that is bordered with the sea is a lagoon, with
a combination of fresh water and sea water which produces a sensation
thermocline - sometimes cold and sometimes warm, and the water that looks like
sugar water (foggy). Weekuri is one of the must-visit spots while visiting
Sumba, although now the lake is already popular, it's still so beautiful as
ever!

nature, it's so exotic.
SAVANNA

| Wairinding Hills |
What's so beautiful about
land full of grass? Well, you gotta see and feel yourself. Sumba memiliki
kontur padang savana yang berlekuk-lekuk, perbukitan yang indah dengan warna
rumput yang menguning di saat musim kering sangat picture perfect, and it's even 1000% better during the golden
moment, saat sunset!
What's so
beautiful about a land full of grass? Well, you gotta see and feel yourself.
Sumba has an undulating savanna contour, beautiful hills with grass yellowed
color in the dry season which are so picture perfect, and it's even better
1000% during the golden moment, when it's sunset!
