East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is dominated by the three main islands of Flores, Sumba, and Timor. Occupying a unique position at the junction of Australian and Asian submarine ridges marked by the Wallace Line, it is one the world's most dynamic and exotic marine environments with nearly every species of coral and tropical fish represented.

Flores is a Portuguese name, which means 'flower' and ideally describes the beauty to be found here. This long island between Sumbawa and Timor is crowded with volcanoes and mountains dividing it into several distinct regions with individual languages and traditions. Predominantly Catholic and heavily influenced by the Portuguese, there are many examples of a strong European cultural heritage like eastern procession held in Larantuka, and the royal regalia of the former king in Maumere.

The lakes of Kelimutu, in Flores, Indonesia, are a major attraction of this town. This is actually a combination of three volcanic craters in the Mt. Kelimutu, which have three lakes of different colors. Apparently, these colors often change over time. It has not yet been discovered as to what causes these colors, but this mystery has made the volcanic lakes more famous. The last seen colors of the Lakes of Kelimutu, in 2003, were turquoise, green and red.

Penggajawa Beach, in Flores, Indonesia, is one of the best unusual attractions of the place. Miles of empty beach, with people piling up pastel blue, green, and pink stones, so that these can be sold for use in landscaping, and exported to far-off lands, the Penggajawa Beach is a wonderful place to spend your holidays and take some amazing photographs in.
