Day 1 – Road Trip to Wae Rebo
After pickup from your hotel or airport in Labuan Bajo, the adventure starts with a scenic drive inland toward Wae Rebo, a remote traditional village nestled in the mountains.
From Labuan Bajo, you will travel through rural landscapes, rice paddies, and lush hills before reaching the starting point of the trek. The trail to Wae Rebo winds through tropical forests and steep mountain paths, typically taking several hours on foot.
Wae Rebo Cultural Immersion
