Tana Toraja is a land of green rice terraces and blood-red soils, steep granite outcrops and forested mountains arguably, the most spectacular scenery in all of Indonesia, open to visitors for less than 20 years and seldom visited by North Americans. The Torajans are a shy people who perform ritual feasts for weddings, harvests, new houses, and, most elaborately, for funerals which place remarkable effigies in cliff-face shrines. They are proud of a rich culture that continues to maintain its integrity despite the pressures of modernization. The best way to experience the true majesty of Tana Toraja is on foot, with a professional guide and anthropologist, meeting the people in a way that overcomes their reserve, and coming to understand their way of life.
