Consider over 17000 islands spread through an area three times larger than the biggest European country, all of it covered by warm equatorial waters. Interact with hundreds of ethnicities populating the islands. Trace the centuries of history with all the accompanying cultural treasures: arts, crafts, legends, rituals. Observe volcanoes - extinct, dormant and active. Enter large expanses of jungle, often untouched, and in some locations even unexplored. Get used to cities interwoven with agriculture and villages crawling together to form centers of trade: don’t be surprised to see farmers working in a rice field between a shopping mall and a bank. Similarly, take for granted the magic mixed with daily life. Don't forget lagoons so transparent that to observe multi-colored coral gardens on the bottom one doesn’t even need to snorkel – but snorkeling is more fun, of course. Test your balance against world-class surf. Try hearty, filling, tasty food and delicious coffee wherever you go. And, last but not the least, meet some of the most chilled-out, hospitable and helpful people in the world. In short, experience Indonesia, an extremely versatile travel destination. Whether you’re looking for sportive thrills, cultural exploration, or a quiet holiday in a beach bungalow, here you will find it without effort.

From spectacular volcanic highlands, picturesque valleys and lakes to surfer-friendly beaches, West Sumatra is for good reasons considered as one of the most beautiful provinces of Indonesia. Only in the territory of the Kerinci Seblat National Park, you can find South Asia’s tallest volcano Gunung Kernici (3805 m), a beautiful caldera of Danau Gunung Tujuh, as well as a lovely lake Danau Kerinci and impressive waterfalls of Air Terjun Telun Berasap. Water sports enthusiasts should know that an offshore archipelago of the Mentawai Islands is popular with surfers. If you are looking for an ideal off-the-beaten-path destination, head to the hill town Bukittinggi, from which you can explore a spellbinding Ngarai Sianok Canyon with gorgeous vistas. This area is also the heartland of Minangkabau people, an indigenous West Sumatra’s tribe and the world’s largest matriarchal society. They are also allegedly considered as the friendliest in Indonesia.
