• Today we set off right after breakfast for a full day of adventure. Not far from the Hararu Valley the world’s largest flower (Rafflesia arnoldi) can often be found blooming in the rainforest.
  
  
• The trek through the rice fields and rainforest in search of this elusive bloom will provide us with opportunities to study the flora and fauna of Sumatra – the island with the greatest diversity of plants on Earth. Hornbills, macaque monkeys, langurs and gibbons are among the many animals we may spot along the way.

• Even if rafflesia flowers are not in bloom during our visit, our next trek will provide plenty of highlights. From the top of a huge caldera that formed Lake Meninjau, we will descend through the lush montane forest all the way to the lake shore. Here again, opportunities for wildlife viewing abound.

• Following a great lunch on the shores of Lake Meninjau we’ll celebrate our descent by embarking on a charter boat for a lake cruise. It’s fun to dive from the rails into the pristine waters to swim and to fish the lakes great depths for our dinner.
  
  
• At sunset time our vessel will drop us off at a lake side lodge where simple but cozy accommodations will give us feeling of camping out under the stars. A beach barbeque and songs around a camp fire will mark a wonderful final night together. Anyone for a moonlight swim in the lake?
