Sutera Vacations Borneo

STEP BACK IN TIME TO BORNEO'S HIDDEN PARADISE

Time machines do exist, here thay are called airplanes. A short flight from the major cities, which still has its rustic charm will take you back millions of years to the worl'd oldest rainforest.

The forests are more than just trees. It is filled with wonders that never ceases. There are snakes that fly, flowers the size of your coffee table, plants that eats insects, full grown deer the size of cats and funny pigs with beards.

Ever seen three million bats pouring out from a single cave? Here it happens everyday. Theres even a cave so enormous that it easily fits London's St. Paul's Cathedral or 50 jumbo jets.

All these marvels are at your hotel's doorstep and can be seen on a days excursion.And if you doin't fancy walking, try riding a native longboat and shoot the rapids.

If you are feeling more adventurous, trek for days deep into the mysterious, living heart of this tropical wilderness or climb the highest peak in South East Asia which is the home of departed ancestors.

Then, stay in one of the longhouses of the various ethnic group, enjoy their hospitality and immerse yourself in the local culture. Find out why we say we are the world's most hospitable people.

But don't be put off by the skulls hanging from the rafters, they are relics of the bygone days of headhunting. A glass or two of the surprisingly palatable local rice wine, the tuak, will make those facinating legends of far-off days, told by a flickering oil lamp, come to life.

This is the perfect tropical wonderland and Borneo has been perfecting it for several million years. So, step back in time and experience somethingyou will remember long into the future.
