Mentawai Islands

Four islands make up the Mentawai cluster of the West Sumatra coast; Siberut, Sipora, Pagai Utara and Pagai Selatan. These people of these islands still live in comparative isolation, maintaining their age-old ways. Siberut is becoming increasingly popular is an area for trekking and visiting these ancient cultures. It is well known for its virgin rain forest, inhabited by a number of animal species not found anywhere else in the world, among them some rare monkeys’ species. Beautifully coral reefs are found offshore.
