Early in the morning our minibus will take you to the Minahasa highlands.
Alternative A: You can climb the active Mahawu volcano which only takes approx. one hour of easy walking to the crater and offers you spectacular views down to Manado Bay, Mount Klabat, the Moluccan sea, Mount Soputan and Mount Lokon.
Alternative B: The hike to the active Lokon volcano is somewhat more difficult as it requires hiking along the sometimes slippery rocks of a river bed (two hours climb) to reach the crater which is nestled at the boulder of Mount Lokon.
In either case you will have lunch at a local Minahasa restaurant, and also have a hotwater thermal bath at Ranopaso to relax. Before returning to Pulisan Jungle Beach Resort you will visit the 144 ancient Waruga tomb stone sarcophagus collected at Sawangan village.
