Waingapu (Sumba), Indonesia

One of the more undiscovered islands of Indonesia, Sumba is the adventurer’s dream where time seems to stand still.

In villages outside of Waingapu, you’ll spot traditional bamboo houses with thatched roofs and megalithic tombs and gain insight on the well-preserved culture. You’re also likely to observe a handweaving technique known as ikat, which creates exotic fabrics for which the island has become known. Sumba just might be Indonesia’s best-kept secret.
