Wae Rebo is pretty special - a remote UNESCO mountain village known for its cone-shaped houses and gorgeous views. You’ll need to hike in, and the stay is basic, but the views and star-filled skies make it more than worth it.

2D1N Wae Rebo Trek | Explore Coffee Culture + Stories

One of the rare Wae Rebo trips which takes you deeper, not just a photo stop. 

Rio and his team took great care of us from Labuan Bajo to Waerebo and back. What stood out was how much depth they brought to the journey beyond just getting us from place to place.

Along the way, Rio introduced us to Michael, the head of Waerebo's tourism community. Hearing directly from him about life in the village, local traditions, and how the community works gave us a much deeper understanding of Waerebo. It felt less like visiting a destination and more like being welcomed into a friend's home.

One unexpected highlight was the local coffee cupping session with Rio. I had no idea that Waerebo also grows and exports its own coffee beans, and it was fascinating to learn more about that side of village life.

Overall, it was a warm, insightful, and genuinely memorable trip. Huge thanks to Rio and the team for making it such a special experience.
