Sumba is famous for traditional ikat weaving, a cr

Sumba is famous for traditional ikat weaving, a craft that’s central to the island’s cultural and spiritual identity, with designs that reflect stories of ancestry and nature.

In Prailiu village, you can see this weaving process up close. Rows of ikat hang from bamboo poles outside homes, dyed in shades of indigo and rust, woven completely by hand. I saw a lot of people here also making jewelry, carvings, and other handmade pieces you can buy directly from their homes. 🧵

I stopped to look at one indigo ikat, and the woman who made it waved me over. She ended up walking me through me all the pieces she’d handmade, including a wooden bracelet I loved and ended up taking home 🌼

🤎 KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
• Just a short drive from Waingapu, Sumba
• Bring small bills, most artists sell directly from their homes.
• Ask before taking photos of people or textiles.
• Each piece can take weeks (sometimes months) to complete.

SAVE THIS FOR YOUR INDONESIA BUCKETLIST!
Prailiu is one of the easiest places to see traditional weaving up close and support local makers.

The most remote hike I’ve done to date. And to one

The most remote hike I’ve done to date. And to one of the most epic waterfalls I’ve ever seen! 🤎

Right before this photo was taken, another traveler told me I looked like Jane from Tarzan. Fitting, considering I just braved a trail that winds up 507 stairs and continues on top of a narrow water pipe, over a river crossed by a fallen tree, and through Sumba’s jungle before revealing this hidden turquoise lagoon.

On the way back, I nearly stepped on what I now believe (after some research) was a baby Sunda Island pit viper. 🐍 Not exactly what I’d call a “vacation,” but absolutely the adventure I was looking for!

Visiting Ratenggaro Village in Sumba, Indonesia. Families here still live in traditional ways, passing down Indigenous beliefs, skills, stories, and architecture over generations. 🤎

The rectangular stone structures in the photos here are Sumbanese megalithic tombs. They are found at or near the center of most traditional villages and are still used frequently throughout the island as part of the Marapu religion, mostly for burials and ceremonies.
