TIMOR-LESTE & INDONESIA
UNEXPLORED WONDERS OF THE ASIAN WORLD October 05 - October 24, 2025
Led by Local Guides
One of the more unique and remote programs in the Spiekermann portfolio, this itinerary will take you on a journey that covers all of the best this world has to offer. You will have the opportunity to experience many features of Indonesia unseen by those traveling from the western world: endangered animals like the Komodo Dragon, indigenous tribes with rich cultural traditions like the Dani Tribe of Papua, and unique burial traditions like those that dwell in the Toraja Highlands. There’s even a bonus visit to Timor-Leste, which offers an incredible glimpse into a country if early infancy. From big cities like Makassar to small villages like Wamena, this expedition is meant to cater to those that prioritize exploring every inch of our dynamic planet.
