					<description><![CDATA[South Sulawesi covers the southwestern part of Sulawesi and is roughly the size of Estonia. It is one of the easiest parts of the island to enter, thanks to Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport near Makassar, but many visitors still use it only as a gateway to Tana Toraja. That is a shame, because the province ... <a title="South Sulawesi Travel Guide: Makassar, Tana Toraja, Bira &#38; More" class="read-more" href="https://www.backindo.com/south-sulawesi-travel-guide/" aria-label="Read more about South Sulawesi Travel Guide: Makassar, Tana Toraja, Bira &#38; More">Read more</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For most travelers, Manado is the gateway to North Sulawesi. This is where you land, organize your first hotel, and decide whether to continue to Bunaken, Tomohon, Tangkoko, Bangka or Lembeh. Many people spend almost no time in the city itself, and that is understandable. But Manado is more than just an airport stop.

Some hotels in Bandung are best for walking around the historic center, cafes and train access, while others work better if you want cooler air, larger hotels or easier access to North Bandung. On the map, many parts of Bandung look close, but traffic can be ... <a title="Bandung Hotels: Best Areas and Hotels for Every Budget" class="read-more" href="https://www.backindo.com/where-to-stay-bandung-hotels/" aria-label="Read more about Bandung Hotels: Best Areas and Hotels for Every Budget">Read more</a>]]></description>

From the airport, you still need to continue by road toward the Bromo area.

You spend several days at sea, stop at small islands along the way, and visit Komodo National Park, one of the most famous places in Indonesia.

					<description><![CDATA[Bunaken National Marine Park is one of the easiest places in Indonesia to experience serious marine life without traveling to a remote island chain. It lies just off the coast of Manado and includes five islands: Bunaken, Manado Tua, Nain, Mantehage, and Siladen.

					<description><![CDATA[North Sulawesi is one of the most interesting and still relatively little-visited parts of Indonesia. Unlike most of the country, Christianity is the dominant religion here, which shapes the local culture, architecture, and even the food. The region is best known for its underwater world, but there is much more here than diving.

Most travelers know it mainly as a gateway to the Togian Islands, but Gorontalo is worth more than a quick transit stop.
