NATURE
FIELD TRIP TORAJA REGENCY
Assalamualaikum
Hello…
Happy reading,
hopefully useful ...
On 14 15 16 October
2019 me and my classmates of the Travel Department study program tour travel
business doing Nature Field Trip activities in the north toraja regency. We
travel for 3D2N. And before we do our marine trip activities we do a meeting first
with our tour leader. We gathered at our beloved campus (Makassar tourism
polytechnic) at 07.00 and our tour leader gave directions and gave us other
tour equipment such as (songage tags, ID cards and refresmants).
Day 1
We left the campus
at 08.00 and headed to Barru regency for lunch. During the trip, each student
is assigned to be a tour guide. From Makassar city to Barru Regency, it takes
about 3 hours. We arrived at kupa beach restaurant, barru district. There we
were welcomed by the owner of a welcome drink restaurant. Like the color of
milk but not the taste of milk. Like the taste of coconut milk, but delicious
and fresh to drink. After that we had lunch together, pray, rest and then
continue the journey to Bambapuang, Enrekang Regency. From Barru Regency to
Bambapuang, it takes around 3-4 hours. In Bambapuang, Enrekang District, we did
a coffee break and enjoyed the beauty of "Mount Miss". Miss Nona is
also one of the tourist attractions in Enrekang Regency. Besides being able to
do coffee breaks in Bambapuang, you can also buy ole ole typical of Enrekang
district because there are so many different types of food that can be made by.
After traveling from Bambapuang we continued our journey to Toraja Regency, it
was great to be able to set foot again in Tana Toraja. The place is so
beautiful with the characteristics of the Tongkonannya house and is one of the
places I wanted to go to when I was in high school. We arrived at the senses
hotel to check in, and our tour leader gave directions to get ready to do
dinner at the penyet ria chicken. And our last activity was closed overnight.
Our first day trip
was spent on the road because from Makassar city to Toraja district it was very
far and took around 8-11 hours.
Day 2
Our activity on the
second day was started with breakfast at the senses hotel and continued with a
trip to Timenbayo. At Timenbayo we enjoy the beautiful views of northern
Toraja. After timenbayo we continued our journey to Lokomata. Along the road to
our locomata we were amazed by the beauty of very thickdew.
Arriving
at the locomata, we observed the stone grave. And while the observation was
taking place we met a tourist from America along with a local guide. These
tourists and guides taught us a lot. Tourists tell us how the tracking
experience he did. And Gudie tour explained to us about the history of the
tongkonan, tedong and stone grave houses in Toraja Regency.
After
that we continued our activities on foot to the restaurant mentirotiku
Along
the way we saw a number of Toraja communities doing mutual cooperation
activities. The activity aims to replace stones from the tongkonan house as
well as to tighten the ties of the Toraja community itself. The men work
pushing stones using ropes and pick-up cars while women are in charge of
preparing food for those who work. In addition, along the way we also saw many
new stone graves were dug. And the scenery that we found was very beautiful.
We
arrived at the restaurant, then lunch, rest for a while at once to pray. After
about 1 hour we were ordered to take the bus and go to the next tourist spot,
namely to the starting point of the Bangko.
We
also do tracking from Lempo to Bori. But we passed through the forest and also
the rice fields.
We
also visited baby grave. Baby grave is a stone grave made by Toraja people to
bury babies under the age of six months. They were buried in a tree called 'Tarra'.
And it is said that the tare tree has a lot of latex which is believed to give
breast milk to the baby in the tomb.
After
baby grave we proceed to the next tourist attraction, Bori Kalimbuang
His tourism object
is one of UNESCO's world heritages which is located on the Poros Barana road,
Pangli, Bori Village, Sesean District, North Toraja Regency. These rocks are
not through natural processes, but are formed in advance and planted in the
ground. The formation and planting of stones cannot be done by just anyone.
This Menhir is a
neat fusion with the Toraja traditional house, Tongkonan.
And the last place
we visited was todi. Todi is a place that sells typical souvenir Toraja. In
addition, there we can see firsthand the weaving process carried out directly
by the Toraja community itself. A very nice place to visit to buy Ole Ole in
North Toraja. After from todi we returned to the hotel, dinner and over night
Day 3
As usual at 06.00
we all went to the restaurant for breakfast after breakfast we checked out of
the senses hotel then we all the way to one of the markets that are near the
senses hotel to buy souvenirs and myself bought a small bag for my brother
Well,
that's what I gave later to my brother, after that we continued our journey to
the statue of "LAKI PADADA"
After that,
continue to Mount Nona for coffee break while enjoying the beauty of Mount
Nona, then continue to the "TERAS EMPANG" in the city of Parepare
This is our photo
on the TERAS EMPANG bus U
After that we
continue the journey to go to maros "RUMAH MAKAN IDAMAN" after eating at the
dream restaurant we immediately continue the trip to the Makassar tourism
polytechnic campus until campus at 21.30
