a journey through Sulawesi
Lestariweb
Sulawesi is also known as Celebes, as referred to by the Portuguese. The island has a beautiful contour with a stunning coastline, mountain sceneries, a diverse culture and remarkably beautiful sea parks, one of them among the best in the world. All these features make the island one of the most popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. This is the home of the Bugis people, the well-known Indonesian sailors who used to sail throughout the Indonesian archipelago for centuries with their magnificent wooden schooners. In the centre of Sulawesi live the Toraja people, the indigenous Sulawesi inhabitants who have a unique architecture and fascinating culture that have survived through the ages. This is the only place in Indonesia where the funeral ceremony is the most important ritual in life as the Torajans believe that without proper funeral rites the soul of the dead will bring misfortune to the family.
