Mentawai Islands
Four
islands make up the Mentawai cluster off the West
Sumatra coast: Siberut, Sipora, Pagai Utara and
Pagai Selatan. The people of these islands still
live in comparative isolation, maintaining their
age-old ways. Siberut is becoming increasingly
popular as an area for trekking and visiting these
ancient cultures. It is well known for its virgin
rainforest, inhabited by a number of animal species
not found anywhere else In the world, among them
some rare monkey species. Beautiful coral reefs
