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.

EcoTravel's New Tour: Holiday & Help

Holiday & Help: Support the ecosystem in Gunung Leuser National Park, help its wildlife and local people while enjoying your holiday! This unique Sumatra EcoTravel tour pioneers by combining some of the most spectacular spots in Northern Sumatra with direct support for the environment. You will do some jungle trekking, meet orangutans, ride elephants and explore local life. You also have the chance to see Lake Toba, the world’s largest crater lake. Your stays in „green“ guest houses and your visits to traditional villages contribute directly to the income of the locals. Furthermore your booking supports Ecotourism in Tangkahan and Samosir Island. Our very own Clean Rainforest Project is the first to make sure that waste created by tourism is cleared away from this sensitive environment.http://sumatra-ecotravel.com/packageoffers/holiday_help/
