Travel Tips in labuhan bajo
| Tourism in Flores Tourism in Flores Located east of Sumbawa and Komodo and west of Lembata and the Alor Archipelago, Flores offers many great tourist destinations. The most famous tourist destination in Flores is Kelimutu; three coloured lakes in the district of Ende and close to the town of Moni. These crater lakes are in the caldera of a volcano and have highly acidic water as a result of a volcanic gas source in the caldera. These coloured lakes change colors on an irregular basis, depending on the oxidation state of the lake from bright red through green and blue. Flores offers good snorkeling and diving locations along its north coast such as Maumere and Riung. However, due to the destructive practice of local fishermen using bombs to fish, and locals selling shells to tourists, combined with the after effects of a devastating tsunami in 1992, the reefs have slowly been destroyed. Labuanbajo, a town on the northwestern tip of Flores serves as a base for tourists, from where they can visit Komodo and Rinca Island. Labuanbajo also attracts scuba divers, as whale sharks inhabit the waters around Labuanbajo. Flores also has great culture, you can visit Luba and Bena villages to see traditional houses in Flores. Larantuka, on the isle's eastern end, is known for its Holy Week festivals.
