Liang Bua Cave
After visiting the Lingko Cara spiderweb ricefield, then driving to Liang Bua Hobbit Cave; the limestone cave where archaeologists discovered the “The Hobbit” Homo floresiensis. Standing in the cavern’s mouth, you imagine the tiny humans who once sheltered here.
Here you will hear from the tour guide the history of this cave and the discoveries of Flores Hobbit fossils by archaeologists.

Labuan Bajo
After visiting these special places, we’ll make our way back to Labuan Bajo, and drop you off at your hotel with a full heart and the hope that the road will bring you back to Flores again one day. This is where our journey together end, but the memories, we believe, will stay with you long after.
