Well guys, in this time i will tell you about
my experience in nature field trip in toraja. A nature field trip is an activity
to know nature. Well with out wasting time,
so here is it :)
Day 1
On the first day of October 14, 2019 we gathered in
front of the orange building at 7 o'clock to distribute ID cards, luggage tags
and refreshments, while waiting for the bus to come to campus.
At 8 o'clock we left the campus and headed to Toraja. During the trip we do the
guiding in accordance with the material that has been distributed.
At 12 pm we arrived at Kupa Beach restaurant in
Barru for lunch and Dhuhur prayers and for rest. At Kupa Beach we were welcomed
with a fresh welcome drink and the food it served was also very good. After
lunch we also continue the trip to Toraja and also continued the guiding.
At 4 pm we stopped in Bambapuang to rest. In Bambapuang we enjoyed a coffee break and we can see amazing views, one of which
is the famous Mount Nona in Enrekang district. The view is very beautiful and
the air is cool so we can relax our body for a moment before continuing the
trip.
Furthermore we also left Bambapuang and continued the trip to
Toraja. 2 hours passed and we arrived at the Indra Toraja hotel which
is the hotel that we will occupy while in Toraja. Arriving at the hotel we also
checked in and got ready for dinner. We had dinner at the Ayam penyet ria restaurant, the location was very close to the hotel so we just walked. We finished
the dinner and continued with the evening evaluation. After that we returned to the
hotel to take a rest.
Day 2
On our second day in Toraja 15 October 2019, we
started our activities at 5.00 am. we did a morning call and got ready for
breakfast. We had breakfast at the hotel and the food served was very good.
After breakfast, we prepared to go to our field trip destination in Toraja.
The first is timenbayo, at Timenbayo we can see a beautiful scenery from the high. Then from Timenbayo we continued our journey to loko mata. At the Lokomata
we can see a stone grave. A grave made on a rock cliff that has been
perforated, Toraja tribe does not bury people who
have died on the ground because the Toraja tribe considers the land a sacred
place.
In the Lokomata, besides we can see the grave, we
can also feel the cool air. After that we did soft tracking to mentirotiku.
Then we continued on to Mentirotiku restaurant for
lunch. In this restaurant, the menu served is brown rice and papiong. And it
was all very good. This food is also a special food that we must try when we are
in Toraja. In mentirotiku restaurant we can also see a very beautiful view that
can spoil the eyes with the green plants and rice fields that are there.
After that we used the bus and headed to the start point
of the Lempo. Arriving at the Lempo star point we continued tracking to Bori.
The trip is very exciting like passing through the rice field. We also stopped at several residents houses and saw how to make carving, saw the gravestones of the Toraja tribe, and also the baby graves. Toraja baby graves are different from the
graves of adults. A baby who passed away buried in a Tarra tree. Babies buried in the
Tarra tree are babies who do not yet have teeth that are considered still
sacred. Tarra tree was chosen as a baby grave because this type of tree has a
lot of sap which is considered as a substitute for breast milk. By burying the
baby in a Tarra tree as if returning the baby to the mother's womb.
Next we continued our trip by bus to Todi. At
Todi we can see how to weave and what materials are used.
After that we headed
back to the hotel and prepared for dinner.
At 08.00 pm we gathered in the lobby to go to the Ayam Penyet Ria restaurant for dinner. After dinner we continued evening evaluation. After that we returned to the hotel to take a rest.
Day 3
On the third day of October 16 2019, we started our activities at 05.00
am with morning calls and prepared for breakfast. We did breakfast at Indra
Toraja hotel. After
breakfast we checked out and got ready to go to Makassar. Before leaving the
hotel, we took a picture together.
After that we walked to the market because the distance is not too far from the hotel, for those who want to
buy souvenirs. After that we got on the bus to go back to Makassar. Then we stopped at the lakipadada statue in the makale roundabout which is
a statue of the hero of toraja.
At 09.30 am we stopped in Bambapuang in Enrekang Regency
to enjoy coffee break. After the coffee break we got on the bus and continued
on to Teras Empang in Pare-pare for lunch.
At Teras Empang Restaurant the food served is very delicious. The restaurant's
terrace is the unique restaurants with a shape like a boat
and also we can see the view of the hill from a distance. After lunch we returned
to continue the trip.
We also stopped at the Idaman restaurant in Maros for
dinner. After dinner we left the restaurant and headed back to the Makassar
