Located in the west of Flores, this beautiful 30m waterfall is definitely worth a visit. The hike to the waterfall is about 1.5 hours, then you can relax and have a swim before returning. You get to walk through villages, jungles and rice fields as well as over rivers. Well worth a visit.

This stunning volcano is located near Edne in eastern Flores. The trek begins with an early morning departure and it takes about 30minutes to climb to the top from the volcano car park. It is worth doing as the sunrises, so you get some great photographs. You will then get chance to explore the top and see the 3 lakes each a different colour.
Mount Egon

This volcano is located in the west of Flores. It offers some great views and is really amazing to see the sulpher and steam vents at the top. The hike up takes 2-3 hours and you can then explore and then hike down in about 2 hours. It gets very hot up there so take plenty of water.
Mount Inerie

Located on the south coast, this volcano offers amazing views. It is not an easy trek, with about 3 hours of hard uphill walking to the summit followed by another 3 hours of scrambling down loose terrain. But for those that are fit enough to take on the challenge it really is worth visiting.
Spider Fields

These fields are quite close to Ruteng and are great for a photo stop, the trek is up stairs and does not take long. It can get busy with tourists as well as locals trying to sell items, but it is worth a stop off for the stunning views.
Wae Rebo

Wae Rebo Village can only be reached on foot and is a 3-4 hour trek. It is an amazing traditional village and you can stay overnight in one of the large round houses to experience the true local lifestyle and culture. You then continue a trek to Denge Village the next day. The trek takes you through the jungle, seeing wildlife and stunning scenery.
