The adventure continues as we ride our motorcycles deep into Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, heading into the incredible Besoa Valley—a place of breathtaking landscapes and ancient mysteries. This is the second part of our motorcycle adventure through Sulawesi, following the Palu episode.
On the way to Besoa, we stop at Sekolah Alam Dongi Dongi, a grassroots school helping remote children access education and avoid early marriage. In the village of Rompo, we meet the inspiring "Special Farmers"—a powerful community of people with disabilities working together to build a future.
After battling rain, mud, and rough terrain, we reach Besoa Valley, waking up to stunning views and a quiet stillness that feels untouched. Guided by Pak Iksam, Head of Culture for Central Sulawesi, we explore the mystical megaliths—giant stone figures from an ancient civilization, still standing silently in the highlands of Indonesia.
Expect laughter, local Cap Tikus (traditional alcohol), plenty of off-road challenges, and raw, honest storytelling throughout this wild motorcycle trip into the cultural heart of Sulawesi.
