Cave burials, tombs hanging tau tau (size effigies of wood) of the death and slaughter of buffalo, each summer, is horrible, but fascinating. It is a world unto itself.
Tana Toraja is undoubtedly the most popular destination of Sulawesi. A great, wild and beautiful region of the most traditional villages, unique architecture and fascinating culture. The funeral of the season is usually in July and August, when Toraja working in Indonesia to return for the celebrations, tourists come in numbers and hotel Rantepao edge. However, in recent years, the number of visitors was very low, so it does not hurt during a visit to the burial of the season to see the development of the ceremony in full swing.
