Know before you go
- If you only need a tour guide (while transport, lodging, etc.) you won't take care of yourself, then my guide fee is as follows:
- USD 75.00 per day for a small group of 02 - 08 persons - This tour can be customized following your personal needs!
- Tiwusora, a tourist destination that is still virgin, offers the beauty of a vast expanse of meadows and hills such as Marlboro Country, with hundreds of semi-wild pets such as horses, buffalo, and cows. The animals roam grazing, only known by their owners in a very unique way, namely by ringing a bottle filled with saltwater and pouring the saltwater on a certain stone platform. When looking into the middle of the lake, you seem to be watching a giant painting that is very dramatic, where the reflection of the blue sky and trees looks far below the bottom of the lake, it's amazing! If you are a true adventurer who wants to feel a calm and peaceful atmosphere, wants to be in serene nature, mingle with local people, and are interested in listening to their stories, sharing experiences and participating in their life activities, this trekking is for you! All are available for you to explore. And we are ready to show you all that beauty in an informative, friendly, fun and responsible way!
