Kelimutu
A volcano in central Flores, about 50 kilometres east of Ende, crowned by three crater lakes of different colours. The lakes shift between blue, green, red and black as the chemistry of the volcano changes, and local belief holds them to be resting places of souls.

Liang Bua
A limestone cave just north of Ruteng in western Flores, first explored by the Dutch missionary and archaeologist Theodor Verhoeven. In 2003 it yielded the bones of Homo floresiensis, the small extinct human nicknamed the hobbit.

Padar Island
The third largest island in Komodo National Park, lying between Komodo and Rinca. A short, steep climb leads to a viewpoint over a ridge of bare hills and curving bays, with beaches of white, black and pink sand.

Rinca Island
One of the three largest islands of Komodo National Park, close to Flores. Rangers lead walks through its dry hills to see Komodo dragons, which can reach 3 metres in length, along with wild pigs, buffalo and many birds.

A Manggarai village 1,200 metres up in the mountains of western Flores, reached on foot through the forest. Its seven cone-shaped mbaru niang houses, thatched to the ground, won a UNESCO Asia Pacific heritage conservation award in 2012.
