    It's going to be an experience of your lifetime! You are going to see the unique things that the locals buy and sell. The things that they eat, drink, use and wear. They have barbeque bats, dogs, fishes, pigs, rats and etc. They sell canned food, chickens, clothes, coconuts, cooking oil, fruits, vegetables and their daily necessities. This is the place where you can experience the life of the people there.

    Climb the volcanic Mount Mahawu (1311m)!

    Mt Mahawu

    Opposite Mount Lokon (1580m) is its smaller sister, Mount Mahawu (1311m), both have crater lakes of considerable beauty, duck-egg blue and smoking. The gentler slopes of Mahawu offer a less challenging hike but the view is no less impressive. Inside the crater is a steaming emerald-green lake ringed with yellow sulphur deposits.

    The trek to the top should be made by climbers in reasonable condition. The steaming crater lies 600 m below the peak of the mountain and the lake is about 60 m deep. The best time to start walking from Kakaskasen is 7am while the morning is still cool and sun just filled the crater.

    It is important to contact the observation post, Pengamanan Gunung Mahawu (Mount Mahawu Observatory Center) in Kakaskasen III, Tomohon.

    This natural 60 meters waterfall is an ideal place to enjoy nature and fresh water pools at the base of the falls.

    It is beautiful, quiet and impressive. It takes an hour to walk from the Highland Resort. A pleasant jungle trek.

    If you have four hours to kill from Manado, get in a taxi or microlet to Tomohon. Pass Gran Puri Hotel and you will make a left hand turn after about ten minutes later, as you begin to wind up the hill towards the highlands. Once making this turn, the road is actually pretty good all the way up to the parking lot. This short ride is about 10 to 15 minutes. The walk down to the waterfall - first stop is the scenic overlook of Manado, where there is a private residence at this point and sometimes you may get pisang goreng (fried bananas) for a nominal fee but it is worth with the sambal chilli - do this on the way back.

    After some brief Fuji moment, take your next right and follow down approximately 200 stairs and some flat area and voila, you arrive at the base of the falls. Be ready for lots of wind blown spray as the force of the water is pretty intense, causing the mist to pretty much cover everything and everyone. There is a nice bridge that spans the river where you can get some great shots of the waterfall!
