Komodo wonder



Komodo National Park is competing to become one of the 7 wonders, and not only for its unique host, the Komodo Dragon, but also for the beauty of the islands that make part of this park, Komodo and Rinca islands.



It is not easy to arrive to the park. First you have to get a plane from Bali to Labuanbajo in Flores island, and in Flores you get a boat that will take 3 hours to arrive to one of the islands.



From one island to the other it will take another 2 hours.



One of the greatest surprises was that this islands are also diving treasures.



Active marine life and colorful corals, makes diving and snorkeling a unique experience.



Also the landscapes in the islands are surreal. Different kinds of trees, birds, monkeys, buffaloes and other animals that become food for the dragons.



But the target of the hiking is to spot the dragons.



They sleep in small caves, go out around 8 to seek food, and rest in the shadow while the sun is up.
