If you're in Ende and going to Kelimutu, worth the stop here to check it out a few hours. I also met Max when i went there so that way i had some guide. Just contact him by whatsapp or call (whatsapp is above in some other review). Turned out to be him the chief of this ANCIENT village were people still live in! Not many tho, the village is pretty empty but there are still people around living in those houses. Max will tell you incredible stories of the places and the chiefs before him, even the ancient chiefs and what was it all about. Pure history. He also gave me the best coffee i ever had, just straight from behind his house (he lives next to the village), he showed me some family living in those houses and i got to meet some people there. He told me so many stories of the place and being there in a ancient village was very... I dont know... special I guess. It was totally worth the few hour stop. The guy was so nice he even took me (after we prayed for rain to come as it was very dry) all the way to kelimutu!!! Wow....... And stopped in many places in the way to take photos. Amazing. You should stop and visit. No fees are asked for but I really suggest giving a donation. The effort put on this ancient place is big and we should collaborate after we enjoy visiting it. Hope it helps. Cheers.

Riung is a remote fish town far from flores main roads. You can reach it either from Bojawa or from Ende. Both variants take about 5 hours. I strongly advise you NOT to take bojawa - riung bus because it’s a nightmare, seriously. The road is literally DESTROYED in some parts. We ve been moving so slowly - about 5 km per hour. But if you still decided to take this adventure make sure to ask your host in Bojawa which bus operates today: the one that reaches Riung in 5 hours or in 7. If it’s going to be the second variant then you’ll experience a short(2 hours) lap to the small village where roads are even more terrible)) Our bus broke in this village and we had to change a wheel. We stayed in a Riung guesthouse. It s a nice place with AC but without hot shower. The owner Paul is a farmer that took a credit to build this hotel. He has to pay it back in 15 years. I tend to believe him although he might be saying it just to manipulate my final review score on booking. Anyway, he cares a lot about every guest and it is wonderful. Paul helped us to organize a tour to visit 17 marine islands. It costs 600 thousand for 2 people. It is super cheep comparing to snorkeling tours Labuan-Bajo. A captain Luca cooked a really wonderful dinner for us at the beach: grilled tuna(incredible!!), eggplant, noodles and rice. Snorkeling is amazing there however there were some trash on the beaches. That’s a shame. By the way, the Riung itself is FULL of trash. I ve never seen so many trash in any other city in Flores. We’ve collected some trash and that s my advice to you - please pick up some plastic bottles! Paul said that every weekend all people from the village go and clean the islands and that most of the trash comes from the sea. Seems like the government does’t care about Riung at all so people try to clean this place by themselves... We had dinner at two places - Pato Resto and Cafe del Mar. Both restaurants are great however we liked Pato Resto a bit more. Riung is a hidden gem in Flores - but it needs improvement. The city is poor and dirty the tourist facilities are limited. The roads are terrible. I hope in the future this city will be prosperous.

Wologai was our 1st stop after we landed/arrived in Ende. Beautiful place ... We were accompanied by a man who lived in one of those houses...it was an interesting story he told us about the village. Highly recommended!
