Mbaru Niang has a unique structure differs from the ordinary rectangular house; it has a joint firing place for eight families living in the house. Mbaru Niang houses are round and windowless, with a central hearth and a ridge pole sticking out from a conical, thatched roof sloping down to the floor.
Wae Rebo has been supported to become the major culture tourism attraction in the West Flores area. Visitors are welcome to spend the night in Mbaru Niang traditional house and to dine on local cuisine with the Wae Rebo community members.
The rain forest along the trek to Wae Rebo is one of the biologically richest areas in Indonesia. The forest is simply like a huge Garden of Eden. It hosts a splendid variety of vegetation from orchids, palms to ferns. Bird watching is a wonderful experience here, with the wide range of singing birds around.
Follow the path of a clear and fresh river on the way up to the village. Enjoy your stay at Wae Rebo and take pleasure in the breathtaking view on your way back to the lower land.
The most common route to take from Labuan Bajo to Wae Rebo is by taking the main Trans Flores road, which takes visitors on a scenic view route to the heart of Flores’s mountainous area, passing Tado Village. Afterwards continue east in the direction of Ruteng, then cut across the Trans Flores road following the road heading to Denge Village, from where the trek starts. However, visitors can also take an alternative route, combining road travel and a boat ride to reach Wae Rebo. This alternative route starts from Labuan Bajo by following the main Trans Flores Road to Nangalili (4 hours car drive – refer to the map below).
From Nangalili, visitors then switch the travelling experience by taking a boat ride to Dintor (2 hours boat ride). From Dintor, the travelling options would be taking a car/motorbike ride or walking to Denge for 6 km. Denge is the mountain hill village, the starting point for the trekking up to Wae Rebo. As trekking up to Wae Rebo takes around 4 hours, visitors can chose to stay overnight in Denge and to continue the journey up on the following morning. For those who decided to continue to Wae Rebo for the night, they will not be disappointed by the warm welcome of the local community upon arrival. Dining with the Wae Rebo people and experiencing directly the life inside and around the Mbaru Niang will surely induce the feeling of being a part of the extended families with rich history passing down the bloodlines for many generations since way before our time..
