Spending slightly longer in Makassar is not a bad idea when admiring Indonesia’s natural splendour, beyond the South Sulawesi’s capital city borders, is what you’re after.
The refreshing climate and fresh air of the Malino Highlands were once the weekend retreat of choice for the Dutch settlers during the times Makassar was controlled by the Dutch East India Company as one of the main trading gateways between the East and the West. It’s cool and clean air, 1050 meters above sea level, has made the Malino Highlands an ideal place for various plantation projects, and in particular tea.
