Just got back from A week tour over West Sumatera, Sumbar. Visited many places, however this Pariangan is one of our favorites. As the nature is so beautiful with paddy field, Traditonal houses and one of the oldest mosque at the village, unfortunately we didnt have much time to explore the whole village, thus, we missed the hotspring. Local with a truly Minang manner, honest and kind to all visitor, i do understand a bit of Minang, though. Unlike other tourist attraction where sometimes too much merchant trying to force you to buy whatever yhings theyre selling, this village is one of em.
