Indonesia's Sumatra
Lake Toba
Whether it is the surreal beauty of this captivating volcanic lake, or the invigorating appeal of its natives, the Batak, you are sure to find yourself enchanted by this Sumatran gem.
Backdropped by the towering volcanic mountains, Lake Toba is nothing less than series of breathtaking panoramas, only enhanced by the relaxed atmosphere of the Batak culture that resonates throughout. Wade in the refreshingly cool waters of the lake, trek the hills of the volcanic centerpieces, or explore the many gems of neighboring Samosir Island, which, in fact, is not an island, but rather a small body of land linked only by a narrow isthmus at the town of Pangururan.
