An unforgettable experience - What to say? In Waerebo you have an experience! Already from below in the area you can enjoy a beautiful view, we ate in an open-air restaurant whose name I don't remember immersed in a rice field with chickens wandering around where it seemed as if time had stopped. A magical place. The climb to Waerebo begins with a ride on a scooter for a few kilometres. I don't know where I read that you can do without it but I think it is right to say that it is essential because the stretch is quite uphill and also sunny. The walk in the mountain is really tiring at times, quite steep and at times pleasant. There are many varieties of plants and flowers, many birds singing and some monkeys. The air you breathe is fresh and pleasant. You are truly out of this world. We arrived practically at night, the view still leaves you speechless. We slept in a hut with 25 people, it was fun but tiring because you sleep badly and sharing the bathroom with so many people isn't the best. We eat sitting on the ground, typical or almost typical foods, rice, eggs... In the morning we take a tour of the village and take part in the ritual which I found quite touristy but the place is really worth a visit. I don't know whether to recommend staying overnight or instead paying a visit from morning to night, I can say that in the morning we were truly devastated for not having slept a wink, I leave the choice up to you, but the experience was still positive.

A view to behold - especially in the early morning - (+) - The view at the village is magical - By sleeping together with the other travellers, you get to interact and make friends (-) - Hostel style sleeping arrangement - Cold water for shower - Simple dinner/Breakfast (Vege and egg only) - Trekking up to the village is tough, 3hrs uphill

Waerebo village sleep with locals - You need to walk about 2,5-3 hours for hiking depend on on your speed. You need to sleep in the local house with another visitors. At night freezing on December. You can have local people to bring your backpack if you don't want to bring for your own. Don't take any pictures once you arrived at the village. You need to take an honour to the leader of the village who will give you speach and ceremony to welcome you first.

A long trip that will let your jaw drop! - From Labuan Bajo, it was a 3-hour drive, after it, we were put on a scooter for a 15-minute drive and then it just all started. 3 hours non-stop hiking up. Quiet hard but totally worth it! A beautiful setting where you see the locals put the hard work in drying the coffee beans every morning, very nice to see. Btw: I would strongly advise you to buy bring some coffee to your home country, it's amazing!

Long hike but don't stay over night - It's a great place to check on Waerebo Village. We started by our private small bus, and then continued a bit by motor bike then hike for 1.5 hours up. It's a bit slippery when wet so be very careful. My husband fell down and hurt his hips. DO NOT stay over night there - its very basic, You sleep in a big room w/20 people from all over the world on a mat and wooden floor. You eat together with them. There is only 2 bathroom and one squat toilet for all. No hot water so prepared to take a cold shower on a wet floor with a bucket. I can't even brush my teeth -saving my drinking water to brush in the morning. Did not sleep well, too hard and sleeping with 20 people from all over the world? Food served is OK rice and pieces of chicken. Morning - rice and omelette + their well known coffee. Can't wait to go back to decent hotel. Motor bike ride for 7 km(?) was good - reminds of school days. Do take a day trip and start early so you will be down by evening. Don't stay over night. All the foreigner NONE want to use the restroom or bathroom. It's ICKY....! The view is very nice, misty, foggy and there is a friendly brown dog called RUNNER. He goes out with the men when they visit the forest. Waerebo is beautiful but I would not stay a night there. You can make it in a day.
