Peaceful valley
There is a narrow road, initially it is paved and then it becomes gravel, which passes through this beautiful and fertile valley and through the most beautiful of rice fields and picturesque villages inhabited just as in the rest of West Sumatra. The people there are wonderful and hospitable people. On both sides of the valley there rises a spectacular granite wall and there are numerous waterfalls cascading from above. Moving arround the valley is straight forward, you can go walking as it isn't very big, perhaps its more or less 10km. Also, there is a type of taxi which has a side car. They can take you from one place to another, and I almost always use it in Asia, and we got to this place from Bukittinggi like that. This peaceful valley is an ideal place to stay for several days and takes a lot to decide to leave, it's definitely adictive, and I think this was the place I like the most in Indonesia.
