Lake Maninjau – Lake Maninjau is a large crater lake in West Sumatra, Indonesia with several villages bordering it. It is a great place to relax, experience local rural lifestyle and watch the sunsets. The lake also supports swimming, canning and fishing. The villages themselves are small and great for escaping the hectic pace of Indonesia. Unfortunately, as tourist numbers decreased drastically during the last decade, many locals turned to fish farming. The still growing number of fish farms is apparently more then the lake can handle, with the water quality decreasing from year to year. More tourists are turned away, hence more fish farms pop up and so on…a vicious circle. Still, if you don’t come for swimming, there are still many reasons to come here and support the local tourist infrastructure – while, if you care, at the same time contributing to the rising awareness about the ecological fiasco the lake is undergoing.

Lake Singkarak – A picturesque lake, the largest lake in West Sumatra.
