Makale is Toraja’s administrative center, a quiet,
peaceful, pretty town circling an artificial lake. It
offers simple yet serene accommodations to travelers,
including several starred hotels with tennis courts and
swimming pools. Its restaurants serve a variety of
tempting local treats, including the region’s
specialty, a blend of vegetables, spices and meat or
fish, smoked in tubes of bamboo.

a base for exploring the neighboring Torajan villages.
Trekkers can take leisurely walks through the gentle
hills, enjoying the spectacular unspoiled natural

their famous life sized carvings of the dead. Those
seeking the ultimate adventure can ride the white rapids
of the Sadan River on a rafting trip that travels
through beautiful valleys and dramatic canyons.
