Day 3 Study Focus: stream macro-invertebrates, Minangkabau culture

Sunrise over Lake Meninjau is an event not to be missed. Following breakfast, we set off by passenger van to Bukittingi, the center of the Minangkabau kingdom – one of the world’s few matriarchal societies. Visiting the cultural museum and meeting locals at the fascinating mountain market will help us learn more about this society where women have ruled for countless centuries.

Following lunch at a great restaurant and a chance to buy souvenirs in Bukittingi, we head back down the mountains to Padang on the coast. Along the way we will stop at a mountain stream to refresh and to conduct a study of the macro-invertebrates that inhabit Sumatra’s wild rivers.
As we descend from the cool climate of the mountains to the equatorial heat of the lowlands for the return flight home, we’ll know that our “wet, wild and wonderful weekend” is coming to a close. Fortunately, for all those taking part, lessons learned will outlive any text information from a school book.
