Mount
Kelimutu With Three Colour Lake Trekking Package
Kelimutu National Park is located on the island of Flores,
Indonesia. It consists of a region with hills and mountains, with
Mount Kelibara (1.731 m) as its highest peak. Mount Kelimutu, which
has the three colored lakes, is also located in this national park.
This unique natural attraction is a destination for tourists from
many regions.
Some endagered plant species are protected in this national park,
such as: Toona spp., Anthocephalus cadamba, Canarium spp., Diospyros
ferra, Alstonis scholaris, Schleichera oleosa, Casuarina
equisetifolia and Anaphalis javanica.
Some endangered animals can also be found here, such as: Cervus
timorensis, Sus sp., Gallus gallus, Elanus sp. and Dicrurus
sulphurea.
The western lake, Tiwu Ata Mbupu (Lake of Old People) is commonly
blue. Tiwu Nuwa Muri Koo Fai (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) and
Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched, or Enchanted Lake), which share a common
crater wall, are commonly green- and red-colored, respectively,
although lake colors vary periodically. Active upwelling, probably
fed by subaqueous fumaroles, occurs at the two eastern lakes. The
scenic lakes are a popular tourist destination and have been the
source of minor phreatic eruptions in historical time. The summit of
the compound 1639-m-high Kelimutu volcano is elongated two km in a
WNW-ESE direction; the older cones of Kelido and Kelibara are
located respectively three km to the north and two km to the south.
