Driving Through Ruteng: A Journey Worth the Extra Miles 🚗⛰️

#celebrateit #floresroadtrip #ruteng Not every town makes you want to slow down and take it all in, but Ruteng does. As I drove through this highland town in Flores, I found myself constantly amazed by the landscapes, the atmosphere, and the way nature and daily life blend so effortlessly. The road into Ruteng winds through endless green rice terraces, misty hills, and dense forests, creating a scene so picturesque that even the occasional bumpy stretch feels like part of the adventure. The cooler mountain air is an instant relief, making the drive all the more enjoyable. 🌿 Once in town, Ruteng has its own charm. Colorful houses, colonial-style buildings, and a lively market scene give it a character that’s both traditional and dynamic. Even something as simple as stopping at a roadside warung for a quick meal feels special in this setting. For those exploring Flores, Ruteng isn’t just a stop on the map—it’s a destination that deserves your time. The drive alone is reason enough to visit, and the town itself only adds to the experience. 🚗✨
