In 2018, I got the chance to visit a place I’d never been before: Sulawesi, one of the largest and most underrated islands in Indonesia. These Sulawesi pictures are the result.
This huge tropical island is one of the most amazing destinations I’ve encountered during my travels. The karst mountains, exotic wildlife, active volcanoes, and ancient artifacts were simply otherworldly.
It was one of the highlights of that year, although I barely scratched the surface of what this island offers. Since then, I’ve returned to Sulawesi numerous times and explored some of the surrounding islands, such as Labengki, Selayar, and Siau Island.
Hopefully, these Sulawesi pictures inspire your future travels as well!
