Flores Island which located in the east of Indonesia is surely a fascinating and beautiful island. Long hidden in the shadows of its more famous neighbor Bali, the island of Flores is finally emerging as a unique destination of its own. Situated in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, Flores is a long island that contains some of the world’s best kept secrets.
Here you can have a religious trip to Nilo Hill, Maumere. This city has a famous giant statue of the Virgin Mary that has about 18 meters height for his image alone, and 28 meters along with the foundation.
You also can trek to Mount Kelimutu near the town of Maumere. This sacred mount has three different coloured lakes that can change colour from time to time.

And don't forget to visit the most exciting place where you can see the lair of the Komodo dragons in Taman Nasional Komodo!
