SOUTH SULAWESI - THE TRAIL TO TORAJA Sulawesi - once
known as the Celebes- is home to an incredible
variety of sailing and trading people. Where time
has stood still is in the remarkable area of Tanah
Toraja, literally the country of the Highlanders. It
is unquestionably one of the most beautiful regions
of Indonesia. It is a country of dramatic landscapes
and the highland people that live here celebrate
colourful feasts for the dead. Although Torajans are
predominantly Christian, the "Way of the Ancestors"
is all- pervasive.
