EcoTravel: Zurzeit keine Touren nach Berastagi

Krasse Bilder vom Vulkanausbruch bei Berastagi! EcoTravel-Touren finden dorthin zurzeit nicht statt. Alle weiteren Ziele unserer Reisepakete - Bukit Lawang, Tangkahan, Lake Toba und Pula Weh - sind aufgrund der großen Distanzen in Sumatra weiterhin gut zu bereisen und vom Ausbruch des Sinabung nicht tangiert.
