Sumatra Bukittinggi Tours
Bukittinggi is a small town, so these places are within walking
distance with each other (15-30 minute walk).
* Sianok Canyon (Ngarai Sianok) and the Japanese Caves (Lubang
Japang), a network of underground bunkers and tunnels built by the
Japanese during World War II. There is a two-story observation tower
that overlooks the Sianok Canyon.
During dusk you can observe megabats flying from the gorges to the
forest in order to feed from the fruits on the trees.
* Fort de Kock. A fort built by the Dutch (nothing is left, only a
water reservoir is on top of the hill) and Bundo Kanduang Park. The
park includes a replica Rumah Gadang (traditional house), used as a
museum of Minangkabau culture (many curiosities, such as stuffed
animals with two heads and six legs, model houses , traditional
dresses and a zoo with a few very sad Orang Utans, a few expired
species which are still rotting in their cages, two obese bears -
not exactly a example in modern animal keeping. The Dutch hilltop
outpost Fort de Kock is connected to the zoo by the Limpapeh
pedestrian overpass.
* House of Bung Hatta (the first Vice President of Indonesia).
* Clock Tower (Jam Gadang).
