It is a wonder why not many people travel to this part of the world. Manado is on the island of Sulawesi, 3 hours flight from Jakarta and can be accessed directly from Singapore via Silkair. Christians make up for the majority of Manado. There are churches every 20 meters on the same street. It is nothing like I've ever seen before. The moment you get there, you know that you are not in Java.
Manado has the best of both worlds - the mountains and the sea. Travel one hour inland and you can get to Lake Tomohon. Travel 1.5 hours out towards the sea and you get to see world's most beautiful ocean inhabitants. The island of Bunaken is world famous for the protected marine national park.
