Indonesia's Kalimatan
Kalimatan
Lush, mysterious, exotic; whisper the word Borneo and spark images of mythical figures and ancient discoveries, lush forests and intriguing animations, wild splendors foreign to even the most acclimated eyes. The world’s third largest island, so rich in wonders it must be shared by three independent entities, Borneo promises a decadent array of experience and adventure. Formally known as Kalimantan, Borneo maintains the mystique it has for centuries, and today it invites you deep into its lush array of secrets and intrigues.
Teeming with massive mountains, lush forests and bulging rivers, Kalimantan offers a spectacular glimpse into the brilliant hues that makes Borneo the alluring mark for adventure enthusiasts throughout the world. Canoe to Banjarmasin’s floating markets in the pale pinks of dawn, or float the captivating canals as the sun sets below the horizon. Explore the dense greenery of the Apokayan Highlands, where orangutans, macaques, proboscis monkeys and the odd sun bear await discovery by the observant eye, or simply marvel at the indigenous wonders that reside in the traditional Dayak villages.
The former headhunters; the large, remote orchid forests; the villages with "streets of wood"; and the ecologically interesting terrain create a journey surpassing all imagination and expectations. This is a journey back in time designed for the hearty explorer and eco-tourist.
