Taking a tour to the indigenous villages is a-must-to-do activity when you decide to visit Labuan Bajo. Wae Rebo, a village on top of the hill is a place full of local wisdom and culture of the so called Manggarai Flores community. Is not easy to reach this village as you have to walk to the top of the hill for about three hours. But I can guarantee you it’s worth it!
